Altameda return with evocative new single ‘Body Spray’

Following a standout performance at AmericanaFest UK earlier this year, Canadian duo Altameda return with their new single ‘Body Spray’—a cinematic, genre-spanning track that blends alt-country, folk-rock, and nostalgic storytelling in signature style.

The JUNO-nominated band, comprised of frontman Troy Snaterse and multi-instrumentalist Erik Grice, continue to build momentum as one of Canada’s most promising exports. ‘Body Spray’ toes the line between romanticising the past and longing for escape, with Troy’s emotive vocals painting a vivid portrait of a character caught between mistreatment and memories.

“‘Body Spray’ confronts the confusion that the principal character is experiencing when faced with mistreatment from their lover, and nostalgia for their past,” explains Snaterse. “Desperate to find an escape, they fantasize about flying away and starting over. The character confides in a former flame, remembering the mischief of their youth—lighting fires with body spray cans, watching the lavender smoke rise like time slipping away.”
