251 - Snow Day Soundtrack ❄️
It’s a snow day…which calls for cozying up around the stereo and keeping warm with a handful of hot new releases from some of our favourite local musicians!
Fraser Teeple’s latest single—a “blue collar love song about the struggle to hang on to your dreams”—is just the “spark” to get this fire going. Oh, and there’s an intimate recording (live from the Carriage House) available here, too! 🔥
-
fiker’s recent release, heavyhand, is all swirling guitars, layered vocals, and some choice “uh-woo-hoos”—and it’s got some heat on top as well. So turn it up! ⬆️
-
Local lofi jazz/funk outfit Juice Joint keeps it low-key with this Briefcase full of laid back funk featuring seven minutes of understated grooves and a breakdown around the 3:17 mark that’ll have you leisurely shakin’ what you got, no matter how much snow is falling outside.❄️
-
The title track on OMBIIGIZI’s latest full-length, Shame, is a slow-burner that closes out the album with surprisingly few notes (and fewer words) considering how much heat the sum generates from its parts. 🤘
