Toronto Indie Folk Act His His Shares Bittersweet Single “Underdogs”
Toronto-based indie folk act His His, lead by singer-songwriter Aidan Belo, have shared their new single “Underdogs”. Recorded on a 8-track cassette recorder, the track embraces the nostalgic and warm tones of a vintage thrift find, while exploring themes of outgrowing ones hometown.
Of the new track, Belo shares:
“‘Underdogs’ was inspired after visiting my elementary school one evening and walking through the school yard which had changed. The same day, they had started cutting down an old forest that surrounded a century home on the main street, where they had been cleared to develop 20 or so townhomes. I went home and wrote a little chord pattern off of an old drum loop I had created on a drum machine a while ago. The song is about going back 15 years in time and appreciating the things I may have not had before. The album art is an old film photo of me standing on our back door after getting back from school (kindergarten) one afternoon.”
