If you are a regular here, and why wouldn’t you be, you might be able to remember that we had the privilege of debuting Natural Sympathies’ video for Moon Landing six weeks ago.
Once again, for the second time, we are lucky enough to bring you Amber Goodwyn’s newest video in the form of Space Invaders directed by Ian Campbell. (remember to subscribe)
You can download the original EP, in full, for free via Bandcamp, along with the simultaneously released remixes by Pop Quiz.
*edit* Oh and don’t be like me by remembering that you can see Natural Sympathies performing on the main floor of the Palomino as part of the Alberta Music Showcase portion of Regina’s Sled Island Festival on June 23rd (this Friday) *here endeth the edit*
What do you think of Amber’s EP? Would you like us to feature more from new artistic ventures? Please let us know in the comments below.
Hello! Thanks for the introduction to new music, I like Amber’s EP, and look forward to hearing more!
A note for the editorial board: I’m glad Our Basement is able to share new artistic ventures, and hope it can continue. I don’t have a lot of opportunity to listen to new Canadian Indie music any more, so new artists are always welcome.
G’day. I’ll type later: late on shaving, having breakfast, etc.
Good morning! All shaven here…
For those that are interested here is the BBC’s guide on “How to ‘do’ Glastonbury if you’re not in the UK”

They want us to “know” Glastonbury? Lawkes!
I am at a loss for words Benoit
Hi all! I haven’t run across Natural Sympathies in town yet. I wonder if they have had shows with Lunar Lander Dance Commander. They seem like a good match although I prefer Natural Sympathies.

Well, is Glastonbury ‘hot’?
A young local band I went to hear last night at Pressed, and liked a lot: Sparklesaurus. Young woman on the main vocals and guitar, another on the bass (nice lines she does, melodic); and another on the synth keys adds really nice lines when she breaks out. A guy on the drums, so no lack of pounding.
In short, there are sparkles involved, and they do pop, but are also heavy: they’re well-named. https://sparklesaurus.com/
Glastonbury isn’t usually hot but it is often filthy
I look forward to checking out Sparklesaurus!
The name Sparkiesaurus makes me chuckle. I will have to check them out as well.
In some ways it reminds me of a kid’s band.
Barney is the lead singer.
Janet, re Sparklesaurus, their ep’s almost a year old, and they’re louder (!) in person.
My impression of the members of Sparklesaurus is that the three girls (women, if we prefer) are art school graduate-types; perhaps the boy drummer also. That doesn’t necessarily equal to genius, but to having the means to do music with encouragement often leads to decent stuff. (I checked the site and indeed, the lead singer is the writer-composer.)
edit: “…but (-to) having…”
I am working on a National Aboriginal Day playlist. You will get it a couple days late on Friday but it should still be a good listen.
