Status/Non-Status will release their new album, Big Changes on March 13 via You’ve Changed Records. The record is about survival, but also about making connections in order to endure. Led by Anishinaabe musician and artist Adam Sturgeon, the band is sharing album track “Good Enough” featuring Julie Doiron. “Working with Julie is something I could only ever dream of as a teenager, while I lay with my old wire headphones attached to the boombox on the floor beside my bed – listening to Eric’s Trip,” says Sturgeon. “I don’t take living out my dreams for granted and am just so lucky Julie is such a giving and wonderful person.

“”Good Enough” is about uplifting a friend out of the tyranny of doubt and fracture and pain. It could be any friend – your friend. Maybe it’s you. It’s sad, because maybe you know you can’t help them. But, the message is clear. This song is also meant to rebuild hope, even if it doesn’t feel quite right. The tidbit is that this feeling of hopelessness has perpetuated since this friend was a child… something learned, that wasn’t their fault. So, the need for a refraining reminder was ever present. I think repetition in song is nurturing. It soothes you, even in its bleakest moments. It holds you and meets you where you are at. Sometimes, when I write my best, I am in a state of fury, shock or sorrow and this process of creation is the natural remedy that guides me through. Perhaps it is not to look for answers but to ascertain that carrying on is the only answer.”
