Ribbon Skirt - Pensacola

Ribbon Skirt is a Montreal-based 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.

This EP 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.
