Feist and Wolf Parade are capturing the hearts of younger fans, and how Quebec rap group Muzion changed hip-hop

The year might be 2026, but for fans of Canadian indie music, it’s starting to feel a lot like 2005. Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe in Anything” has gone viral after making a dramatic appearance on Heated Rivalry, and Broken Social Scene’s “Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl” recently went gold in Canada over two decades after its release. With the key players in the 2000s Canadian indie boom set to release new records this year, writers Michael Barclay and Rosie Long Decter explain why these established bands are connecting with younger generations. Plus, Montreal hip-hop group Muzion is being honoured with a Canadian stamp this month (February). CBC broadcaster and emcee Nantali Indongo speaks to Elamin about how the group changed Montreal hip-hop and Muzion's enduring legacy.
