The Other Playlist

A melange of sounds and flavours
By CJ Sommerfeld, Staff Writer

Welcome to the post-pandemic Halloween, a time when 60’s countrypolitan meets 70’s Queb-disco, spooky surf rock makes a splash, shoegaze is briefly resurrected, and a whole album has been made in Hallows’ Eve’s name. This week’s Other Playlist consists of an eerie mélange of recently released tunes; each having been on the scene for less than a month. And while many of this soundscape’s artists are Canadian, expect an interjection from a spacey, psychedelic Spanish track; a slinky, Swedish folk tune; and a conceptual and sensual surrealist one from New Zealand (among a potpourri of others). Whether you are looking for an ambience-rich soundtrack for a night spent pumpkin carving, or some groove-inducing dance floor tunes, we’ve got you covered.
