Welcome to a Frosty 2024 Edition of OurBasement!

As December envelops us in its wintry embrace, our playlists this week are dedicated to celebrating the season—Canadian Indie style. While the official start of winter awaits us on December 21, the telltale signs of the season are already here. Snow may be sparse in some places, but the crisp air, frosty mornings, and shorter days are enough to signal that winter has arrived. And in true Canadian fashion, we don’t just endure winter—we embrace it, finding beauty and inspiration in its icy splendor.

Winter in Canada is a blend of harshness and wonder, a season that challenges us yet rewards us with breathtaking sights and serene moments. The sparkling snowflakes, frost-kissed branches, and shimmering landscapes are a painter’s dream. Even the unique sounds of winter—the squeaky crunch of snow underfoot, the whistle of a brisk wind—compose a symphony of the season. For many of us, there’s magic in wrapping ourselves in cozy layers, venturing out into the chill, and returning home to a warm fire and a steaming cup of hot cocoa.

And what pairs better with these winter moments than the perfect soundtrack?
