Born in and still hailing from Redhill in Surrey, Canada Hill are a trio who made their debut last year. In that time, they’ve captured a fit-to-burst indie wit. Overall, their driven by the chaos of modern British life, and inspired by the nostalgia of artists who have walked that same sonic path in decades past.
Their latest, ‘Little Maisonette’, is a lively snapshot of that playful and evolving sound. The band confess that the 60s ode has something distinctively ‘The Kinks’ about it, but it still has a biting flair that slots right in next to fellow indie anthem curators of recent times.
Sliding between bouncy and biting, with effortless charm and a bit of quirkiness, it’s a track that thematically and sonically paints a portrait of the rose-tinted British life from the era it imitates.
The band, in their own words, share, “Little Maisonette” came from daydreaming about the kind of life that feels almost old-fashioned now – a small home, a steady job, a dog, and a bit of peace. It’s simple, but sometimes those things feel harder to reach than ever. I’ve always loved the British wit and everyday charm in bands like The Kinks, and that crept into the lyrics naturally. We tracked it in my home studio in Redhill, keeping things raw and playful, but with a chorus that really explodes. It’s a song about wanting less, not more – and finding joy in the idea of it.”
