Last month, we told you about the upcoming record from Winnipeg indie-pop outfit Royal Canoe. This week, the band is back with a new single, and we couldn’t wait to share the news with you.

“The initial idea for the song came from observing the relentless hustle of NYC jazz musicians – especially the drummers who find a way to condense their whole setup into a bag or dolly that they throw into a cab or drag onto the train, so they can hop from gig to gig to gig, night after night – there’s something compelling about this ability to adapt and stay hungry and keep your head above water within this hyper-competitive environment.”

Watch the video for Scratching Static featuring NNAMDI below, and keep it locked to their socials. The new album, Sidelining, is out July 9th via Paper Bag Records.
