Alt-rock pop band The Hillties based in Nelson, Canada, released an amazing and high-energy song called ‘ Feel it’, on the 24th of February, that you can enjoy in any jam session or alone in your car. It also has a nostalgic 2000’s sound that is filled with thy rock hope. Produced by Ben Kaplan in his Hipposonic studios in Vancouver. They’re a multi-genre group that love to stretch themselves among many different sonic palettes. They are winners of the Kootenay music award for best reggae song in 2018, and believe that their personal embankment on the ideas of love and loss drives their creative process in their musical approach. 

The soundscape of it is a nice collage between hard and soft musical rock transitions. It also has a sophisticated twist in the way it’s arranged. The song was inspired by the chaos and agony that was created by the pandemic. The overall sound of the song is upbeat, positive and encouraging. The musical arrangement is dynamic and is really thrilling to the ears. You’ve got a hard rock soundscape that is tinted with that pop positivity. You’ve got slow piano, xylophones sound effects, soft drums and cymbals, and melodic electric guitar. There are also fun electric guitars that are backing the song giving it so much texture. The vocals are highly emotive and are also very sexy undertones. The Hillties are going to make even more hype in the future with their really good music.
