Status/Non-Status is the ambitious collective fronted by Anishinaabe musician, artist and community worker Adam Sturgeon. Having started as WHOOP-Szo in 2009, the band changed their name to their current moniker in 2021, but have continued to make grandiose, emotionally-driven indie alt-rock that explores everything from Sturgeon’s Indigeneity and family history, to responsibility, racism and interdependence.
The band returns with Big Changes, their first new album in three years; a sprawling, exhilarating and rightfully exhausting record that earns the anticipation. Status/Non-Status have mastered a style that is both fragile and anthemic — a rare and difficult concoction that they gracefully develop and presents with serene bombast.
