The first Release Radar of the year is our playlist this week. We have both a Spotify Release Radar playlist and a YouTube new video release playlist to help you discover new music. I fell behind on gathering new videos but I have a few for you to check out.

The YouTube playlist doesn’t have as many new uploads this month but more may get added. There are new releases, cover videos and live videos. The videos are usually pretty fun to check out and I encourage you to do so.

The Spotify Release Radar playlist has over 150 songs on it this month. The tracks are all new releases with some being teasers for upcoming albums, some from just released albums or eps, and singles. There are also many tracks from artists that have been featured here on OurBasement and some I found through Exclaim. This month I was most excited about the songs from Andy Shauf, deadmen (the Matts from Royal Canoe)/Begonia, U.S.Girls, Destroyer, Jessie Reyez and so many others. Holy Fuck, KINLEY, We Are The City, Wolf Parade and others all had more new tracks for us to enjoy this month as well. I am so proud of all the talented artists we have in Canada.

Enjoy the playlists! I didn’t have time this month to completely put it in order, but I had started to.
