Welcome to a frosty edition of OurBasement! As December wraps us in its chilly embrace, our playlists this week are a celebration of Winter, Canadian Indie style. While the official commencement of winter is slated for December 21, the unmistakable signs are already here. Although the snow may not be abundant, there’s enough to let us know that the season has indeed arrived. In true Canadian fashion, we’ve not only learned to endure winter but to embrace it, discovering its unique beauty.
Winter in Canada is a dichotomy of formidability and enchantment, with landscapes adorned by sparkling snowflakes and frosted branches. The audible delights of walking through snow, accompanied by its distinctive squeaky and crunchy sounds, add a poetic touch to the season. For many of us, there’s a peculiar charm in bundling up, venturing out into the cold, and returning to the warmth of a crackling fire with a cup of hot cocoa. And what makes this winter experience even better? The right music, of course!
Our winter playlists are a testament to the cozy, snowy vibes that define this season. The 2023 version is available on Tidal, Spotify, and YouTube, featuring some of the latest releases and many favorites from past years. Additionally, there’s a compilation playlist on Spotify that traces its roots back several years and has grown into a musical journey spanning almost 200 songs and nearly 13 hours of Canadian Indie gems. So, whether you find yourself snowed in during a storm or seeking the perfect soundtrack for a winter’s day, these playlists have you covered. Cozy up in your favorite spot, hit play, and let the melodies of Canadian Indie artists accompany you through the winter wonderland.
As we navigate the winter landscape, may the seasonal tunes in this playlist evoke a sense of warmth and joy, turning the frosty outdoors into a musical haven. Embrace the season, embrace the music, and let the magic of winter unfold through the notes and rhythms of Canadian Indie artists. Enjoy the snowy serenade!
