PENSACOLA, the latest EP from Anishinaabe-fronted band Ribbon Skirt, is a moment suspended between reckoning and release. Framed as an epilogue to their critically acclaimed debut Bite Down, it captures the emotional residue left in the album’s wake - the lingering heat, the unsaid, the still-burning edge. Shaped by memory and motion, PENSACOLA weaves shoegaze textures, piercing vocal hooks, and blown- out production with stripped-back flashes of quiet intensity. With just four tracks, Ribbon Skirt closes one chapter while offering a glimpse of the evolution still ahead.

Ribbon Skirt is a Montreal-based post-punk band led by Anishinaabe musician Tashiina Buswa and guitarist Billy Riley. Their sound is raw and enveloping, channeling angular guitars, driving rhythms, and lyrical threads that explore memory, love, grief, and Buswa’s relationship to her Indigenous heritage. Their debut album, Bite Down (Mint Records, April 2025), was met with critical acclaim and quickly established Ribbon Skirt as one of the most compelling new voices in indie music - earning Stereogum’s Album of the Week and a shortlist nomination for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize.
