4 songs you need to hear to celebrate Indigenous History Month
To kick off Indigenous History Month, we're devoting this week's edition of Songs you need to hear to new tracks from exciting Indigenous musicians. Never Come Down, Tia Wood Tia Wood is back with her first new single since releasing her debut EP, Pretty Red Bird, in late September. It's been a whirlwind two years for Wood after launching her solo career, and her new song, Never Come Back, is a look into her mind as the changes in her life hit her all at once. Wood previously sang with her father and other family members in Juno-winning powwow group Northern Cree, and since striking out on her own she's signed to a major label (Sony Music Canada), been nominated for and performed at the Juno Awards, and toured across North America. "The last two years have been filled with so many amazing opportunities and ups and downs as I got my bearings in this new world. I'm always thinking and dreaming about the future and creating, and making music, but with that comes a sort of bittersweet feeling because it means I have to spend time missing many of the people and things I love the most," she shared in a press release. Wood co-wrote Never Come Back in Los Angeles with Bailey Bryan (Noah Cyrus, Shaboozey), Casey Mattson (Oliver Tree) and Joe Pepe (iann dior, Kiana Ledé). As she continues to spread her wings, performing on stages in Toronto and L.A., far from her home of Saddle Lake Cree Nation, Wood hopes that those she had to leave behind will remain in her life. It's hard to pursue your dreams, and even harder when they take you away from the ones you hold dearest. Acoustic guitar flows like a babbling brook, as her voice embraces a warm melancholy, simultaneously wistful and resonant on the chorus: "Am I gonna lose you? Where are you now?/ Will you still be there if I never come down?" — Kelsey Adams Mahaha: Tickling Demon, Piqsiq Inuit throat-singing duo Tiffany Ayalik and Inuksuk Mackay, a.k.a. Piqsiq, are expert world builders, and their latest album, Legends, immerses listeners in traditional Inuit stories. "This album feels like the purest synthesis of who we are as artists, because it brings us full circle in drawing on the stories that shaped us as children and reimagining them through the lens of our lives today," Mackay said via press release. "By reconnecting with that sense of wonder, play and cultural memory, we were able to create something deeply honest and rooted in who we are." Mahaha: Tickling Demon is straightforwardly titled, but not all fun and games: "If you are found frozen with a smile on your face, it was likely the work of Mahaha," the duo described, of the demon who tickles people to death. Ayalik and Mackay's voices twine with an ominous drum beat, a far-off caw dropping in to signal Mahaha's impending arrival. It's deliciously sinister, and a mood-perfect theme song for White Lotus, Season 4. (We hear Mike White's looking.) — Holly Gordon Off Rez, Ribbon Skirt Montreal post-punk rockers Ribbon Skirt, fronted by Anishinaabe singer Tashiina Buswa, let it rip on Off Rez, a cheeky yet piercing song from their sizzling debut album, Bite Down. Unleashing riotous energy on the first verse, Buswa's vocals buzz as she sings about colonialism's enduring grip: "They want 2000's Buffy Marie/ they want my status but they're getting my teeth." Off Rez is an exciting sonic mish-mash: it wails with shoegaze-inspired guitars and hums with a churning, low bassline. Buswa's brooding delivery combined with reverb-y guitars also nod to Joy Division and Fontaines D.C., creating a sound that's familiar enough for post-punk listeners to appreciate, yet still experimental and lyrically compelling enough for fans to find something new to chew on. Near the 3:06 mark, Buswa's voice blurs into an ominous, almost indiscernible echo over a clanging tambourine as she repeats: "Snakes in the bath, do you want that? Snakes in the crowd that you walk past," as the guitars growl, becoming more and more distorted. Bite Down got rave reviews from Stereogum and Pitchfork (it earned a 7.7, which, funnily enough, is the same score as Fontaines D.C.'s Romance) and is already a contender for one of the best albums of the year. — Natalie Harmsen Home, Aysanabee Aysanabee's upcoming album, Edge of the Earth (out June 20), explores a transitional time in the musician's life. That theme can be felt in his latest single, Home, an anthemic journey from heartbreak to acceptance. "If home is where the heart is/ then we must be heartsick," Aysanabee sings in the pre-chorus, admitting that "we can't go back," but swerving into the chorus with open-armed optimism: "And honey, I'm OK with that." While sorrow peeks through as he repeats the refrain, "We used to sing like home," the track's revved-up riffs soundtrack someone learning to move on and take a leap of faith into the unknowns that lie ahead. By the end of Home, Aysanabee sounds ready to tackle whatever comes his way next. — Melody Lau

US Open '25: DeChambeau's sand save an all-time memory at golf's most punishing major
It only feels right that the reigning titleholder at the golf championship that, at least in theory, anyone can win is the player who leans into the role of the sport's most relatable everyman, Bryson DeChambeau. And it only feels right that at the U.S. Open — a tournament built to humble and punish the best in the game as much as celebrate them — DeChambeau earned his title by hitting a shot that virtually no man can hit. A plaque now sits outside the bunker on the 18th hole at Pinehurst No. 2, enshrining the spot where DeChambeau placed his name in the history books with what he called 'the shot of my life' — a 55-yard blast from the sand to 4 feet with the trophy hanging in the balance on Sunday at last year's Open. Defense of the title begins Thursday at Oakmont, getting ready to host its record 10th U.S. Open and a course with a longtime reputation for being as difficult as they come. All of which seems to suit the 31-year-old pro golfer/social media star just fine. His first U.S. Open title came in 2020 at Winged Foot, the course best known for producing the 1974 'Massacre at Winged Foot' along with Phil Mickelson's meltdown in the trees and trash cans more than 30 years later. Then, last year, that bunker at Pinehurst. What would golf's everyman say to his millions of YouTube followers who someday might encounter their own version of the 50-yard bunker shot, widely recognized as one of the most difficult in the game, even under normal circumstances? 'The best piece of advice I give them is, just practice in weird, unique situations for maybe an hour a week, 20 minutes, whatever,' DeChambeau said. 'But try to be different and don't just hit the same stock shot every time.' A history-making shot in a tournament that does not produce them All the major championships have their own personalities. The Masters produces roars through the pines during back-nine charges on Sunday. The British Open is a brittle links-style test where players have to think differently about getting from Point A to Point B. America's golf championship has a reputation for forcing the best players to suffer like the rest of us. As a result, the list of 'greatest shots of all time' at the U.S. Open is a short one: — Ben Hogan's 1-iron on the 72nd hole that helped force a playoff at Merion in 1950. — Arnold Palmer's lash with driver to the first green at Cherry Hills in 1960. — Jack Nicklaus' 1-iron that hit the flagstick on No. 17 at Pebble Beach in 1972. — Tom Watson's chip from the rough on the same hole 10 years later to beat Nicklaus. — Tiger Woods' 12-foot putt at Torrey Pines in 2008 to force a playoff he eventually won over Rocco Mediate. And now, there is DeChambeau's bunker shot. 'When he took this big swing, the amount of confidence that you have to have to hit it that close to the golf ball and not accidentally catch too much ball and send it on top of the clubhouse, it's a very fine line,' said NBC golf analyst Smylie Kaufman, whose biggest brush with pressure came when he played in the final group Sunday at the 2016 Masters. 'They work every single day, every week at these facets of the game in hopes they will have an opportunity to try it,' said Notah Begay, also of NBC. 'I think one of the most overlooked things about professional golf is all the calculation that happens on the fly in evaluating certain shots, which way the grass is lying, where the ball's going to land, and on top of all the normal things.' A tournament for everyone could come down to Bryson, Rory, Scottie Maybe the biggest irony is what the U.S. Open officially sells itself as, versus what always ends up happening. More than 10,000 players signed up to qualify for the U.S. Open which is, officially, open to any professional, or amateur with a handicap of 0.4 or lower. There will be good stories to tell among those who went through qualifying to make the 156-man field: a 17-year-old high schooler from Georgia, a dentist in Indiana who used to caddie at Oakmont. The cold facts: The last man to run the gauntlet of local and sectional qualifying to win the title was Orville Moody in 1969. (Lucas Glover went through sectional qualifying only when he won in 2009.) By the time the sun starts going down on Sunday, the tournament almost certainly will come down to a handful of players who virtually all golf fans have heard of. Though Scottie Scheffler is playing the best right now and Rory McIlroy recently won the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam, it's plausible to think that DeChambeau captures the attention of more of those fans than anyone. He recently surpassed 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. He is making golf feel like everyman's sport, posting videos in which he makes a hole-in-one with a wedge shot over his house, plays with off-the-rack clubs to see how they stack up and tries to beat a scratch golfer while playing left-handed. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. All of it sounds nutty, but it all goes back to that piece of advice he offered when asked how to replicate the improbable under impossible circumstances — i.e., a 50-yard bunker shot with the U.S. Open on the line. 'Once you get a stock shot down and you're comfortable with it, go have some fun,' DeChambeau said. 'Do a chipping contest with your amateur friends and throw it in the bunker from 50 yards, or throw it in a bush and see if you can get out. Stuff to that extent has suited my game very well.' ___ AP Sports Writer Ben Nuckols contributed to this report. ___ AP golf:
