House of Wonders (Manitoba 🇨🇦)—Topping our charts this past week, is a debut EP that will likely make at least a handful of end-of-the-year lists, if at least our own. Tinge are the songs of Veronica Blackhawk, a self-described "Anishinaabe multi-hyphenate" originally from Lake of the Woods Ontario.

Don't just stream it, buy this EP!
