It really is staggering how many great Canadian albums there have been, or will have been, released in 2022. And I'm talking albums because they all have four or five GREAT songs each. Nobody does that anymore! Anyway, alphabetically, I'm including Alvvays, Anyway Gang, Art d'Ecco, Elephant Stone EKKSTACY, Kiwi Jr., Metric, The Sadies, Sloan, Stars, Young Guv. Best year for Canada ever? Maybe. And that's just off the top of my head!
@ivanl.8201 Жыл бұрын
Greetings from the flooded California, circa January 2023. I've just wanted to say I've really been thoroughly impressed by so many amazing bands coming over from Canada. I do remember Sloan very well, and I'd say that "I am the Cancer" is really one of the best power pop songs ever written. It's hard to top it, really. There are a lot of bands on your list I don't know, but I'd be more than happy to check them all out. I do remember two Canadian bands that I think have been long gone, but they really made an impression on me. One was named "A Northern Chorus", and they had this song I remember, called "Watershed Divide", with this similar, lovely, super-nostalgic retro imagery, like this video does. The other band,. I think, was called Sianspheric, and I remember them being very, very, good, too. But yes, I always get this sense of awe every year when watching the Downhill and Super-G form Lake Louise, and am kind of bummed out that this may be the last of it for a while :(. But, at least, there's just so much beautiful music coming from our northern neighbors :).
