Daniel Monkman, the indigenous Canadian musician behind the moniker Zoon, refers to his music as "moccasin-gaze." The project's 2020 debut, Bleached Wavves, blends dense waves of elaborately sculpted guitar noise with rhythms inspired by First Nations traditions, and Monkman's lyrics reflect his life struggles, from facing adversity due to his heritage to overcoming addiction. Following the album's release, Monkman teamed up with Adam Sturgeon (Status/Non-Status) to form the project OMBIIGIZI, releasing Sewn Back Together in 2022. Zoon returned with the expansive second full-length Bekka Ma'iingan in 2023.
