We are thrilled to premiere the new single by Juno Award nominees and indie dance hipsters, Royal Canoe – ‘Feels Good’ – ahead of the release of their new LP. The track is out tomorrow. Pre-save the track here.
‘Feels Good’ creates a luscious and diverse sonic landscape, conjuring images of summer fun and sunshine and above all, hope as we emerge from the pandemic. The track is taken from their forthcoming, anticipated LP – Sidelining – out July 9th 2021. Of the track Matt Peters of Royal Canoe says, ‘We wrote Feels Good during the middle of the summer last year, imagining what that first real hang with our friends will be like when things finally get back to normal. You know.. one of those nights with stages, where you don’t really plan anything, but somehow you end up hopping around the city, bumping into people you know wherever you go, and you somehow maintain the perfect tipsiness the whole way through, and you can’t remember when Sara left the group but it’s cool because she texted MJ and said everyone should go to a party on Chestnut, so you go and get there at the same time the pizza arrives, and they offer you a slice and you eat it in the backyard while there’s a fire crackling, and some dude is singing a really bad Dave Matthews song that sounds good for some stupid reason, and everything makes sense just for a few seconds. Anyway, things are still pretty crazy here in Manitoba, so we’re still just dreaming about that stuff, but if you’re out there where things are normal and you’re living the fully-vaxxed life, this song is about how you’re probably feeling.’ It’s a gloriously imaginative and experimental track that sees the band yet again push genre and sonic boundaries into pioneering new territory – a majestic mark of creative expression.
