Spring is in the air—and so is the sound of Canadian Indie music! Our Spring 2025 playlist is here to soundtrack the season of renewal with a blend of tunes that celebrate sunshine, growth, and all the unpredictable beauty of a Canadian Spring.

Listen now on Tidal, Spotify, and YouTube!

Canadian Indie, Spring Edition

This playlist isn’t just about songs that name-drop spring (though we’ve got a few of those, too). It’s about capturing that feeling—the thawing of winter, the longer days, and the sense that something new is about to bloom. You’ll find tracks that directly celebrate the season and others that sneak in under the theme with clever titles, warm tones, or lyrics that tap into the spirit of change.

From Snowmelt to Songwriting

There’s something about spring that inspires creativity, and Canadian Indie artists never fail to rise to the moment. Whether it’s the rush of energy after a long winter or the quiet reflection that comes with watching the world wake up again, these songs reflect the many moods of the season.

From upbeat indie-pop that pairs perfectly with your first patio drink of the year, to introspective folk perfect for muddy hikes and rainy mornings, this playlist brings together a range of sounds and stories, all rooted in the Canadian experience.

A Season of Soundscapes

Expect vibrant melodies, poetic lyrics, and genre-bending sounds from both beloved names and up-and-coming voices. Some songs will make you want to dance in the garden, while others might inspire you to grab a notebook and write your own spring reflections.

One of the joys of Canadian Indie is its diversity—and this playlist is a reflection of just that. Whether you’re on the East Coast watching the fog roll in or in the Prairies planting your first seeds, there’s a song here that fits the vibe.

A Tradition in Bloom

Spring playlists have become a bit of a tradition for us—if you’re feeling nostalgic, check out our 2018 Spring playlist post. But this year’s collection feels especially hopeful, especially fresh.

So as you step outside, shake off the last chill of winter, and welcome the returning light, let these songs be your soundtrack to the season. Throw open the windows, lace up your sneakers, or just sit in a sunny spot and press play.

Happy Spring from OurBasement!
Now go plant a flower, hum a tune, and let the music bloom. ’
