While JindaLee is an Albertan by birth she has spent much of her time living in places as far apart as Germany, Japan and, Montreal before settling down in Toronto. Her far-reaching travels, along with an interest in various genres, are reflected in her eclectic music style. Her background in Creative Writing is evident in the language used to explore the themes of travel, art, philosophy, dreams, and relationships.
In October 2007, she completed her first full length album entitled Strangers’ Lives which she toured in January 2009. After releasing her second album in January 2014, Rise and Drift, she embarked on a North American tour with her band and followed with two solo European tours.
Her third album, Wild Spectrum, will be released on November 29th and its credits read like a who’s who of Canadian indie, featuring contributions from Spencer Cole (Weaves), Thom Gill (DIANA, Bernice, Snowblink), Bram Gielen (DIANA), Ghislain Aucoin (Queer Songbook, Triple Gangers) and Alex Samaras (the Twin Within). The album was recorded live off the floor at Toronto’s 6 Nassau and mixed by Matt Smith.
The 10 songs translate a “colourful array of experiences and emotions that can be both challenging and beautiful at the same time” into a sound that jumps between folk to pop to funk to jazz, with JindaLee’s own experimental flourishes added to each genre.
As the titled implies, the LP aims at delivering “a spectrum of experiencing and sensing,” and you can immerse yourself in all of it by hitting play down below.
Hello
I just wrote to bandcamp to ask for access to their api (it might help automate the new release list*) and I had to stop myself from writing R3FOTY 2013
*I need to work on this weeks
Good morning!
So, Grant showed up here last night.
define “here”
Our Basement, sorry.
I must have missed that but the last time I checked that posts comments were just after the first MLS game last night
I wonder if he will return
It was late…
22:13, Pacific time (6:13am my time)
Good morning! Another new artist to discover!
cool. Like her sound so far

Another new one! Should I thank Krib or yourself Garf this time?
@Wynnzie, It’s my fault this time
Hmm just looked, how do we know it was really Grant? Actually how do we know any of us are who we are!
Garf, I wouldn’t say ‘your fault’, but I appreciate your knowledge of Canadiana. Also I may want to peer into that Bandcamp API myself, I’m doing some fiddling lately that maybe we could use on this site.
not me. It’s ON music. I sent Garf a link to a bunch of SK artists
@Wynnzie, I am learning as I go, in this case I just googled “Canadian indie music” in the news section and sorted by date
It wasn’t really Grant, I just checked
how did you check? did you ask him?
Sure it was, his name linked to grantlawrence.ca
Well the only way we really know is if they are logged into the site, like I am now. And even then, it depends.
Hey! You can thank me for getting Grant to show up last night. We were trading emails last night and I mentioned ourbasement to him. Although I know he’s been told about the site many times, when I mentioned it last night, he asked about it, and I guess, showed up.
And you’re welcome!
Then again, I may not know JACK as I log in via Tweeter.
The only problem is “Grant’s” comment came from the same ip address that funhug had used a few hours earlier
ignore that, I’ve just noticed that a few of us are sharing the same ip address apparently
and by a few I mean all of us are on 143.95.111.227 according to this sites comment log
Well, Garry, I can send you the email string from Grant last night. He sent me an email telling that there were going to be additional tickets on sale on Friday for the Smugglers show in Berkeley in January. In the exchange, I mentioned ourbasement and he said what it was and how active was it. It would have been a hell of a coincidence that someone faked a GL post after our exchange.
@Lee, I can only apologize for implying that you were anything other than correct. I was working under faulty assumptions and will do my best to be more thorough in future.
…
and thank you for guiding him here

Reginula’s posted this (I think old) cover of The Magnetic Fields’ *Book of Love* by Library Voices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VveLhMmDbOs
That was an old one that LV posted today. Look at those baby faces and former members. Aww.
Yeah, though it was posted on the youtube in 2012, I noticed.
I noticed that as well.
huh. Charlie Angus looks like he’s prepping to run for NDP leader. Good on him.
and it relates to CDN music, because this is (was?) his band.
if you ever stumble across a copy of One Job Town by Grievous Angels, don’t even stop to think – buy it!
Michelle Rumball left after that album and they never replaced her, which altered their sound a fair bit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTpo2eYNwKo
“…watching dad swear when the Frenchmen scored…”
French swearwords were profusion in many households, in the days of B&W and muted colour tv, and of the old Montreal Canadiens / Boston Bruins rivalry, especially when Boston pulled a dirty move on a *bon Canadien*.
The Canadiens never played dirty, of course.
OK GO have another great video!

Wow, that Grievous Angels song is fine. They were never really on my radar. And that Michelle! Excellent voice!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGAOcVx0ZYw
that video is absolutely freakin’ brilliant
well, he does still play with Grievous Angels. Here’s a live clip from summer of 2015

That OK GO video was awesome!
Someone just stated on FB that they know OK Go ONLY for their videos, can’t hum one song. This is really true, can anyone here hum anything of theirs not including this latest video? If you think about it, it’s really odd.
@Michael Wynn, ironically, I can hum one of their songs, but I can’t recall the name of it, for the life of me. (It’s the treadmill video song, though).
Video killed the radio star…
It’s true, what you say, Mike, because the visual does trump (ugh) the auditory. Is why I don’t generally like videos.
yeah, Here it Goes Again
aka the treadmill song
a fantastic little riff on that tune
I saw them live…probably 2 years ago now. they were great
they were having some sound troubles, and instead of just packing it in until things got resolved or any weirdo baby-ass crap that some “artists” might pull, Damian came out into the middle of the crowd and sang with just his acoustic.
The whole place shut the hell up so they could hear him.
It was great
then they got the sound working properly again and the show took off
@Janet, Here it goes again? It’s the first one that came to my mind
“…it starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy
something pushin’ past the edge of reserve…”
and there’s needing/getting
which I can’t honestly place the melody to but just thinking about it has the off-kilter drum beat stuck in my head
This Too Shall Pass, which was the giant Rube Goldberg machine
Yup, that’s the one! But I had to look it up, because I didn’t know the name 🙂
they do lots where I can remember the riff or part of the melody but not the name
they have a knack for hooks, especially back when they were more guitar oriented
like this…couldn’t for the life of me remember the name of the song, but that riff, though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i00GDT9FuFM
that’s also true of a lot of bands, where you can’t necessarily pick out a song or remember it without a little memory jog
how many people would confuse the riff for Satisfaction with Jumping Jack Flash without prompting? Some even would upon hearing it.
In the old garage band I played in, we used to play this song, and anyone who would drop by and listen thought it was some Strolling Bones tune. I can’t recall which one but I think it was Satisfaction, which is nothing like it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXJYZAc1Q84
“Hey Hey, You you get off of my cloud” That’s what it sounds like to me.
right, that was the one…not satisfaction

My favourite quote about Rolling Stones fans
“I only knew that the Beatles were the most exciting thing in the universe. It wasn’t always an easy view to live with. First you had to fight the Stones fans, which was tricky because they fought dirty and had their knuckles nearer the ground.”
Douglas Adams
ha!
the same man who said “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make when they fly by”
I’ve used that one a few times as well.
It comes to mind at least once a week when I am trying to come up with something for here at around 10am UK time
on a totally unrelated note, I don’t really like the spelling of “whisky” I prefer “whiskey”
I think it’s because it comes from “uisge” (or more precisely, “uisge beatha”, which means “water of life”)
“uisge” has an “e” in it, therefore…
The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey, with an extra ‘e’. This difference in the spelling comes from the translations of the word from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms. Whiskey with the extra ‘e’ is also used when referring to American whiskies, or so google tells me.
I spell it Vodka
Then there’s bourbon, about which people are all sooooo specific — but it’s American whisk(e)y, really. And rye, …
but aren’t the different forms uisge (Scots Gaelic) and uisce (Irish Gaelic)?
I’m betting the Scots got stuck with the removed ‘e’ after someone in Victorian England decided that it should have an ‘e’, you know, around the same time they decided it should be Seltic and not Celtic
You ask for bourbons here and you get chocolate biscuits
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbon_biscuit
Yeah, because the people of Scotland have always taken language advice from England
the paragraph above is from
http://www.whiskyforeveryone.com/whisky_basics/whisky_or_whiskey.html
subjugation and all that, Garf
also, James I was a big whisky fan
interesting…first written references called it aquavita
http://www.bottleneckmgmt.com/blog/whiskey-history-timeline/
krib, acqua vita (or aqua vitae) comes from the Latin. A different root completely but both it and the celtic would have existed simultaneously. The meaning is identical. Lastly, the same concept remains in use in French: eau-de-vie.
yep, I know that
