I had never heard of British indie-rockers Kanadia before, but “I Can’t Feel The Sunlight” was all it took to make me want more. Much more! Luckily, I’ve already been treated to an early listen of their new album, and that first taste did not disappoint. Think ’80s indie staples like The Mission (Wasteland era) colliding with modern-day contemporaries like Wolf Alice — and voilà: here’s Kanadia.

Frontman, guitarist, and songwriter James Bettis explains:

“This track feels like the most uplifting moment on our upcoming album. I remember staying up all night experimenting with these chords which had this hopeful, open quality to them. A lot of our songs have been born out of wrestling with mental health, using music as a kind of sounding board to process the weight of things. But with this one I felt something different—like I could finally let go, a sort of ‘what will be, will be’ feeling.

Something I really needed to learn was that there are a lot of things in life you can and can’t control, and this song was my way of telling myself that. It also became a turning point for us creatively. With Chris Barker guiding the production, we discovered a new dynamic that gave the song its airy, uplifting energy.”
