It's that time of the week again – CBC Hamilton reporter Adam Carter is back with his three picks for new Ontario music that you need to listen to this week.
Adam is on the air each week on CBC Radio for In the Key of C, hosted by Craig Norris. He'll choose three Ontario bands or artists that are releasing new music for your listening pleasure.
You can hear Adam during the show every Saturday evening at 5 p.m. on CBC Radio. In the Key of C can be heard across the province, except for the GTA. Hamilton listeners can hear this segment in the audio player above.
Here are this week's picks:
Munroe: Bloodlet
First up this week is a brand new song from Hamilton's Kathleen Munroe called Bloodlet.
It's a song her PR people are calling a "chilling folk-noir ballad steeped in Southern Gothic creepiness."
While that might be laying it on a bit thick, this song is a darker take on that singer/songwriter folk vibe. It's built around her voice and a sparse, fingerpicked guitar line that feels almost hypnotic, in a way.
Anyone who is a fan of Johnny Cash's last albums before he died may find some similarities here.
Bass Lions: We Got Guts
Next up is a new tune called We Got Guts from Kitchener's Bass Lions. It's a song from the band's self-titled third release.
This band has a pretty eclectic sound, pulling in elements of shoegaze, folk rock and electronica. But unlike some bands that pull from multiple genres, it all blends together very well here.
It never feels like the band is cramming in guitar licks or samples just for the sake of doing it when you listen to their stuff — and the chorus of this tune is undeniably catchy.
The Raspberry Heaven: Twist the Saintly Light
We're leaving you this week with a brand new song from a London band called The Raspberry Heaven called Twist the Saintly Light.
This song is reminiscent of something like Austin indie band Lydia would've done, and singer Michael Hansford has an almost Tom Delonge-like quality to his voice here.
Some people might find it grating, but it really does fit here — in the same sort of way that Billy Corgan fits in with the Smashing Pumpkins.
This tune is a bit of a slow burner, but it will grow on you fast. You can listen to it in the radio segment in our player above.
