In honour of the long-awaited return of the sun, we’re featuring spring thaw by Ottawa-based The Acorn. It really seems like the band had fun putting this song together — something that comes through in the recording. The lyrics might be a bit cheesy, but it’s a good time of year for solid indie rock with a positive vibe.

Listen for a drummer who is barely contained by the structure of the song (in a good way). Listen for the minute-long jam at the end. Listen for the sound of your own foot tapping along.
