We are honoured to be included in Corby’s Favourite Songs Released In 2021

3. Indian City – “Smile”: On Vince Fontaine’s recent soul-cleansing album Code Red, this one is an especially brilliant pinnacle of inspiration. It’s got all of the effects of summer sunlight in it and rises up as a unique pandemic love song for people who can still smile with their eyes above the masks. Jeremy Koz’s aquiline voice lifts you right out of whatever and effortlessly infiltrates the pop-glide streamway, spinning you into a cooler and better place. Every time. Sometimes this world is a miracle place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kpy9BYAJ-U

Let the old year end and the New Year begin with the warmest of aspirations. Happy New Year 2022!

To all of our fans, friends & family:
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas surrounded by family and friends, and many blessings for the coming year.
Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
May peace, love, and prosperity follow you all always.

We have physical copies of Code Red for sale.

November 25, 2021 in The Winnipeg Free Press, John Kendle reviews Code Red.
POP/ROCK

Indian City
Code Red (Independent)

Winnipeg’s Vince Fontaine has been a driving force in Manitoba’s — and thus Canada’s — Indigenous and Aboriginal rock scene for nearly 30 years. The Anishinaabe guitarist was a founding member of Eagle & Hawk and, over 16 years and 10 albums, that group went on to tour throughout North America and Europe and won the 2002 best Aboriginal music Juno Award for its On and On albumIndian City was initially meant to be a side project, a revolving cast of players with Fontaine at its centre, but it has since become his main musical outlet and, over the course of IC’s four albums since 2012, also something of a showcase for up-and-coming singers and songwriters such as Don Amero, Jeremy Koz, William Prince and Sandra Sutter.

Fontaine hasn’t been shy about inviting other musicians aboard, either.

This time out, Indian City treats listeners to vocal performances from Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy — on the powerful album opener Star People, a heartfelt imagining of people as constellations — and Chantal Kreviazuk on Wannabe, which blends Kreviazuk’s voice and piano stylings with the wisdom of the seven sacred teachings and traditional Indigenous drumming and chants.

Those two songs are standouts, naturally, but Code Red’s strongest tunes are its title track, a funky, rocking reflection on the state of Indigenous relations in Canada featuring soaring vocals from Amero and Koz; and The Path, an irresistibly anthemic, stirring cry of hope that was released on Sept. 30, Canada’s first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

There’s plenty more to like, including Amero’s emotional Forgiving and Sutter’s sweetly soulful vocal on Storyteller. In fact, Code Red’s only shortcoming may be its brevity. At just eight songs, it should leave listeners wanting more… which can only be a good thing. ★★★★ out of five

“I would like to think that the human race has a warm, loving side and that’s why I think this song and video will touch people,” says Fontaine.

“We have to keep in mind that the goal is to shine a light on this part of history so that people are aware. Then perhaps they will better understand the Indigenous experience more. And understand the subtle challenges that are still here when we—Indigenous people—start out with this kind of experience that’s deep inside our spirit and what caused that. Of course, the bottom line is really to remember the children that shouldered that weight and pain unnecessarily.” — Vince Fontaine
