It’s that time again! Our playlist this week is all about new songs on our radar this month. Spotify has their Release Radar playlists and we have an OurBasement Release Radar playlist. Once a month we check in on what music has been released. There are over 50 songs on the playlist that have been released since our last Release Radar in mid February. Some tracks were released with an album, and some singles are in advance of an upcoming album. There are multiple genres of music on our playlist as well.
I was excited about many tracks on the list, like the ones from Miesha and the Spanks, Bonjay and Neko Case. Neko Case is American but we consider her an honourary Canadian right?. I am also excited that she will be coming to Regina Folk Fest this year. I wasn’t a fan of her songs she sings with twangy vocals in the past but I love the woman and she has won me over.
Suuns, Galaxie, U.S. Girls, Bahamas, and Rich Aucoin had more tracks for us to enjoy this month as well. Rich Aucoin’s new album came out today and from what I have heard so far I am expecting it will be marvelous.
The Saskatchewan artists with new tracks this month are The Wolfe and another track from The Sheepdogs. The Wolfe were finalists in Searchlight last year and it will be interesting to see their progress. These young women are doing well so far.
I would like to bring your attention to a couple other tracks on the playlist. The first one is Hounds by Ellevator which made it onto the International Women’s Day playlist last week as well.
Led by the haunting and ethereal vocals of Nabi Sue Bersche, Ellevator strikes a balance between catchy indie rock bands of the early Aughts (Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s) at their best and radio rock hit-makers. Nabi Sue delivers raw lyricism with quiet power. Her nimble melodies anchor the electric hooks and cinematic timbres Ellevator has refined in their live shows.
The other track I am featuring is Terribly True by Deanna Petcoff. The warmth and texture of Deanna’s sweeping vocals intertwined with the almost playful blueness of her lyrics fills the listener with a sense of intense longing, and reveals to us a worldview that is full of pain at the loss of love, and full of hope for something more beautiful.
Now go check out the rest of the great new music on this Spotify playlist!
Good morning!

Hi, dargar. How’re things?
Is dargar a combination of me and Garf? hehe
Things are well with me. My life is a little calmer at the moment. It was a little too busy for awhile and I am enjoying the bit of a breather. How’s things with you?
Pure carelessness. Also eyes without glasses.
Things are good, only minor, and so unimportant, complaints.
Dargar = Swedish metal band.
I like
I am glad there are only minor complaints. One of mine is my darn eyes getting old. Ugh.
Hello, please excuse my tardiness but I only woke up 30 minutes ago
Catching up on your beauty sleep?
It hasn’t worked up to now
We must keep trying.
it seems to work for you
Happy Friday! Fun hugs to all!
Ha! Thanks Garf.
Hey Funhug! Nice to see you drop in. 🙂
I have added more tracks to the playlist. Donovan Woods, Classified, Dear Rouge.
Hi Funhug
Happy Friday!
for those with kids; welcome to the first day of Spring Break:)
Happy Friday morgana! Have fun with that.
Oh this is going to be a good playlist!!
Please excuse all of the extra punctuation (!!!!) I made a batch of chai tea the other day and have discovered it is rather more caffeinated than I usually consume so the jitters are on board.
Haha! Enjoy! 😀
How was the road trip @garfielduk?
I forgot to cancel my .99 three month offer for Spotify.
9.99 for this month.
either i miraculously get better and go back to work or it is back to the adverts.
Tiring and slightly more exciting than I had hoped for. I made it to the bus with a minute to spare.
And I wouldn’t have made it at all if a taxi driver hadn’t taken me there and waved my fair.
re: spotify,
every so often I wonder if we should set up a family account so we can reduce the cost for each person
I have updated yesterdays post and added full playlists for each release
one of the things i have grown to dislike about travel is the time line crunches; i seem to get pretty anxious about calculating my flight/bus/boat times, connections and such. it always ends up being worth it though.
very nice cabby you had! humans can be great!
family account sounds brilliant!
speaking of brilliant, it is brilliantly bright out side with sun. suki and i are going to go and partake. back in a bit.
I had planned out my route and timings but I took a wrong turn out of the tube station so it is entirely my own fault
hey, its “Boojay”!
remember one show on R3 she was hosting near Halloween and we were turning band names into Halloweeny names?
Haha! I don’t remember that but I did like her. She actually interacted with us.
the once upon a time memories that pop up every now and again.
have a great weekend everyone.
Either my Spotify has gone crazy or someone is messing with it. It keeps switching tracks!
I am not tech savvy enough for anything like that so I am off the hook.
That is weird though.
According to my “friend activity” you are on todays playlist. It is just playing them out of sequence?
It played part of a song and switched to the next over and over.
I will give it a rest and finish up for the day. Have a great weekend!
now that is a glitch!
happy weekending:)
have a great weekend everybody
