Songs for a Sunday: Baauer

Some TV shows can be limited in audience appeal. Shows in the UK don’t always work in North America and vice versa because of regional references and cultural differences.

Case in point. Letterkenny. You may not have heard about it, but it follows the lives of residents in a small Ontario (Canada) farming community. Its fast-paced, often rude dialogue, is a satirical comedy might go over the heads of many. I actually have to put on the subtitles in order to catch the words.

As expected, hockey plays a big part in this Canadian show and when the series ended, the spin-off, Shoresy, was launched. It follows the lives of a Northern Ontario hockey team, the Sudbury Bulldogs.

Its fast-paced, often rude dialogue, is a satirical comedy might go over the heads of many if you are not familiar with minor league hockey culture. The closest you may have heard of is the 70s movie, Slapshot, featuring Paul Newman.

Much of the music in Shoresy is electronica or from heavier indie bands, but this song has a introspective feel that was well placed in the show. As the songs are not listed in the end credits, the name thankfully came up in the subtitles or I would not have be able to share it.
