PSYCH | POP | ROCK WINDIGO CALGARY, CANADA Dreamy melodies and psychedelic summer vibes take you somewhere warm and far away.

“A windigo, by definition, is a spine-chilling monster of the flesh-eating cannibal variety. Whereas the scariest thing about the Calgary version of Windigo is how seamlessly they shapeshift between indie-rock, psychedelia, jazz, funk and grunge. Their live shows have been called “ruthlessly entertaining.” A single Windigo tune can cover a lot of ground: crisp guitar lines that punch staccato holes through liquid soundscapes, anthemic passages that drop away to near-silence and musical left turns where you thought they were going to veer right. Their songs are arranged to make room and leave space for each member’s talents to shine. Windigo is a four-headed colossus, calculated in its determination to leave no stone unturned in the search to satisfy a ravenous appetite for creativity.” - Calgary Folk Fest - 2018

“Windigo are bringing a clean, youthful, and upbeat ener- gy as an inadvertent attempt to revitalize a musical climate that’s grown jaded and old…..Their sound, reminiscent of early alt-rock stalwarts such as the Strokes, Limblifter, and , is refreshing.” - Nikki Celis, Noisy Music by Vice (May 20, 2015) Read full article on Noisy

“Edgy music and innovative cinematic feats plague Windigo’s music video for “All Your Thunder.” A seething guitar vibe as well as an expressive blend of contagious harmonies conjure up a radioactive rock quality. With great dreamy vibrations, the music, here has an indie-rock psychedelic feel to it. Windigo’s sound highlights Kameka’s chilling and mellow vocals with soundscapes that definitely depicts that stellar intersection between an indie-pop/rock twist and a psychedelic vibe with melodic rock rhythms and reverberating guitars.” - My Nguyen, RBeatz, San Diego, CA (May 31, 2017) Read full article on Rbeatz

“Forget about common structures or any cliché to define this work easily….You may feel, at some parts, as in the middle of a spiritual orgy between , The Cranberries, The Beatles and Pink Floyd, but at the very beginning of the LP you have to admit that you never have heard something like this be- fore. The diversity of their styles, tones and intentions, match beautifully, with distorted guitars that contrast the melodic soft voices. A deep bass that makes you float into the beat of a drum that jumps from jazz to funk, from rock to grunge and beyond.” - Carlos Salazar, Beatroute (Jan 11, 2016) Read full article on Beatroute SOCIAL Website: www.windigomusic.ca (ave. +1000 page views/month) Facebook: facebook.com/WindigoMusic (+3752 Likes) Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/windigomusic (114,646 plays) Youtube: youtube.com/channel/UCOm5Wm- HE-eqbG0q5xlVUv2g (+84,000 views) Twitter: @windigomusic twitter.com/windigomusic (+1929 Followers) Instagram: @windigomusic instagram.com/windigomusic (+1711 Followers)
