Indie Music Filter: Best Of November 2015 (PLAYLISTS)

It’s a bit sad to think that this might be the last month I post a monthly playlist on Rdio, as the service has announced its closing. Of the multiple online platforms I use, Rdio was my favourite and will be missed here at Indie Music Filter. Good thing I’m making these playlists on Soundcloud and Spotify as well. Maybe I’ll bring back Youtube too.

This month’s playlist is an eclectic mix featuring some gems (from bands Wild Ones, St. Lucia, Beach House), collaborations (Ra Ra Riot and Vampire Weekend’s Rostam, j.viewz and Milosh, RAC and Filous) and covers (Great Good Fine OK and Panama Wedding doing “Easy Lover”).

Something for everyone.

LISTEN: “Into The Ground” by Federal Lights

Winnipeg band Federal Lights are back with a video and new music from their upcoming release of Coeur de Lion, out Jan. 29th, 2016 via Aporia Records. The album has songwriter Jean-Guy Roy writing about the beauty found by examining the gravity of everyday moments; traveling through points of pressure, regret, solace, anticipation, and disquiet, without ever losing sight.

The Rusty Matyas (Imaginary Cities, Sheepdogs) produced album follows the bands’ acclaimed Western Canadian Music Award winning debut We Were Found In The Fog.

Take a look at the first single “Into The Ground.”
