The Wilderness of Manitoba Releases New Singles and Videos

September 13, 2021
Popguru Sound & Vision, The Wilderness of Manitoba, Uncategorized
Folk Rock, Indie Pop, Singer Songwriter

I signed The Wilderness of Manitoba twelve years ago. Since then, they’ve toured the United States four times; performed in the Consulate General’s living room in Los Angeles; played twice at SXSW in Austin; toured the UK twice; received a standing ovation at the End of the Road Festival in England; played Peter Gabriel’s WOMAD Festival and cooked bison burgers by request; performed at the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg; played festivals in the Netherlands; toured or played shows with Aimee Mann, Lord Huron, Other Lives and Low Anthem among others; released five albums and three EPs; had songs featured in several US television series and been nominated for a JUNO award. I’ve been fortunate to be there for those shows, in those studios and hearing all those songs as they were written. Well, it’s that time again. After a three year hiatus, the band will be releasing their sixth album, Farewell To Cathedral, on October 29th. Before that though, we have videos for the singles The Alchemist and Sometimes. The songs were written by founding member Will Whitwham who was ably accompanied by singer/guitarist Victoria Carr, bassist/singer Tavo Diez de Bonilla and drummer/singer Adam Balsam. The Alchemist video was created by Will Whitwham and the Sometimes video by Maggie Gray.

Odario Releases New Single

Odario released his second solo single, Hot Hot Heat, on Friday, July 24th through Do Right Music. Odario ventures into the infectious world of classic dance music with the help of vocalist Kamilah Apong (of Toronto live disco band Tush) and producer/songwriter Todor Kobakov (composer for the TV series Cardinal and films such as Born To Blue). Hot Hot Heat blends house music, hip-hop, beat poetry and jazz into one massive ball of fire and uptempo groove. Odario gets back to regular business with fancy poetics over saucy steelpan samples and heavy bass tones. Hot Hot Heat reflects a time in one’s life when the art of dancing (and dance music) can be instrumental in one’s freedom of expression. Odario & Kamilah take command of a blazing hot stage on this track… a fire they intentionally lit.

Ghost Caravan Video For Shine On Premieres Today

August 31, 2018
Uncategorized

CelebMix.com premiered the Ghost Caravan video for Shine On today! The video is the directorial debut of actor and filmmaker Elise Bauman. The single will be available on all digital platforms through Stem Distribution this Friday, August 31st.

Describing the song, Shaina Silver-Baird of Ghost Caravan says: “Shine On” is an explosion of self-celebration. What started as a break up song, became an upbeat, feel good discovery of what it means to truly let your light shine against all odds. “Shine On” is the re-birth after loss, the dance party in your underwear, the uncontrollable laughter with friends. It’s a call to action: “Keep yourself moving into the sound, shine on!”  

While director Elise Bauman adds: “With Shine On being such a feel-good, dance-inducing jam, I wanted to create a video that simultaneously lifts up your spirits while making you want to get down and dance. Originally written as a post-breakup song, I expanded on the idea of seeing people shining on in the face of difficulty. When creating the concept, I asked myself the questions, what holds me back and dims my light, and what does it look like when I truly allow my inner light to shine? Through the video, we see women overcome self-limitations and “Shine On” as the brightest, truest, strongest versions of themselves.”

Grand Analog leader Odario Williams says, “Donna Summer captures the flirty, magical vibe of the first days of summer. The dawn of summer. It’s the soundtrack to longer days that lead us into longer nights. Recorded in Toronto, and composed strictly for car stereos and open windows. I suggest that you play it loud. Be the don of summer.”
