OMBIIGIZI is a Canadian musical project, consisting of Adam Sturgeon of Status/Non-Status and Daniel Monkman of Zoon.[1] Their debut album Sewn Back Together was released in 2022,[2] and was longlisted for the 2022 Polaris Music Prize.[3]

Sturgeon and Monkman first met in 2018, bonding over their commonalities as indigenous musicians who were interested in experimental and alternative rock music, and discussed the possibility of collaborating.[1] Shortly thereafter, Sturgeon met Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene at a fundraising benefit for the Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund; when the duo decided to proceed with the planned collaboration in 2021, Drew arranged a series of recording sessions at the Bathouse Recording Studio, and served as the album's producer.[1]

The album's first preview single, "Residential Military", was released in November 2021,[4] and was followed by "Cherry Coke" in January 2022,[5] before the full album was released in February on Arts & Crafts Productions.[2]
