Ontarian “Baby's On A Bike” – Americana UK


The latest single of the Canadian band ontarian is an contagious catchy song, full of humbar melodies. “Baby is on a bike” Rolls together with a pulsating rhythm of drummer Chris Johns, steady beating and warm instrumental textures – they tap on their feet and sing along. There is a wonderful interlude of keyboardist Jay Stiles, the key of which continuously increase the song. The highlight is the melodic interplay of Craig Smith and Frank Deresti, singers and songwriters who have a large chemistry.

You never know where a song comes from. “Baby is on a bike” Was written when the couple came together to create material for the band's second album, and the choir came from a conversation on the beach in Pancake Bay near Sault Ste. Marie, on, Canada. Towards the end of the pandemic, many hoped that the forced isolation could slow down the pace of life. Unfortunately, there was already signs that everyday life in the middle of the constant distractions of the modern world would obtain its pre-Pandemic break feeling of urgency. The texts are safe “The baby is on a bike, bike is on a spaceship, a spaceship in the air, we'll take a good time”. But here is a real message about the constant drive after growth and progress. The song offers advice that can love it, a simple topic that could make a big difference if we all take on board.

The video was staged by Kim Zayac, who says: “Accepting and editing the video for 'Baby's on a Bike' was a fun experience. It is a killer melody and I feel honored to be able to play a small role in the project. We're doing a good time. Indeed. “

The band's second album, “More as it is”Is out now. It took a few years for the new songs to be put together when Smith and Deresti became more ambitious. Smith says: “The Onarians have increasingly made themselves very pleasant both musically and lyrically. The sometimes lush and adventurous arrangements raise the songs to new heights, but the songwriting itself stands for themselves. “ Deresti adds: “Every song on the record tells its own story, but the album as a whole represents a period of time in which the world seemed to offer more questions than answers, and pre -composed assumptions were questioned in every corner. In the middle of the somewhat dystopian tone of some letters there is a thread with strange optimism and carefree, which has become a business card for us as a songwriting team. This coexistence of darkness and light, disillusionment and unanimal and care and lonchalance is a common thread throughout the album. “ Despite the uncertain times when they were written, they will feel hopefully and increased. Enjoy.
