Canadian indie sensation Ten Minute Detour has just released their latest single, “Over Under,” produced by the acclaimed Marcus Paquin, known for his work with Local Natives and The Weather Station. This track drops ahead of their eagerly awaited performance at Toronto’s NXNE festival in June 2024 and is set to leave a significant mark on the indie rock scene.
“Over Under” is a laid-back, feel-good indie track that wraps the listener in lush, soft vocal melodies. The song immediately draws you in with its infectious groove, making it a perfect anthem for fans of Briston Maroney and Dawes. The combination of warm, analog-tinted tones and a live energy captures the essence of Ten Minute Detour’s unique sound. The track delves into themes of stagnation and insecurity, resonating deeply with the challenges many have faced in recent years. The lyrics are reflective and introspective, exploring the emotional struggles and the courage required to push through difficult times. “Over Under” encapsulates the band’s journey over the past five years, reflecting a period of significant change and discovery. Recorded at Montreal’s MixArt Studio over three intense days, the single benefits from Paquin’s meticulous production style, capturing the raw, live essence of the band. Additional overdubs were recorded remotely, ensuring a polished yet authentic final product. The analog recording process adds a grainy texture that enhances the song’s warm and organic feel.
“Over Under” also marks a new chapter for Ten Minute Detour, as they transition from a five-piece to a core three-member group. This shift has allowed the band to explore new creative opportunities both in the studio and during live performances. The evolution of their lineup has infused their music with a renewed energy and focus, evident in this latest release. With its introspective lyrics, infectious melodies, and authentic production, “Over Under” is a testament to Ten Minute Detour’s growth and resilience. The single is not just a reflection of the band’s past but also a glimpse into their future, filled with promise and excitement. As they gear up for their upcoming shows in Ontario and Quebec, including major festivals like NXNE and Festivale d’été de Quebec, Ten Minute Detour is poised to reach new heights, continuing to captivate audiences with their distinctive sound.
