Swan Dive

Ribbon Skirt is a post-punk/art rock band from Montreal, Quebec (FKA Love Language). Fronted by Anishinaabe singer Tashiina Buswa, the band has performed at major festivals across North America, including Sled Island, Sappyfest, SXSW, New Colossus, and Pop Montreal, sharing the stage with acts like Dehd, Ombiigizi, Marnie Stern, and Enumclaw. Ribbon Skirt is currently finalizing their debut album, set for release in 2025, produced by Scott Munro (Preoccupations). The album, mixed by Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), marks a shift towards a darker, more introspective sound, exploring themes of memory, grief, and Buswa’s connection to her Indigenous identity.
