Folks in Vancouver know a thing or two about rain: The city gets an average of 58 inches every year, roughly two-and-a-half times as much as London. So it figures that the city’s musicians might also have an unusually nuanced appreciation for wet, grey days. Pender Street Steppers’ “Raining Again” doesn’t waste time with moping around: It’s a reminder that indoor days can be as invigorating as their sun-kissed counterparts.

Crisp hi-hats and snares carve out the kind of relaxed disco groove that the Steppers and their peers in the Mood Hut crew, a Vancouver dance label known for its lo-fi textures and new age vibes, pull off so effortlessly. A clean-toned guitar lead offers warmth with its hint of African highlife. Swirling synthesizer pads lay down a feathery bed of ambient house, while a see-sawing keyboard melody traces wistful shapes against streaked glass. As dance music goes, it’s the kind of low-key anthem that, heard once, can stick in a listener’s head for days. Dreamy and downbeat but still brimming with good spirits, it’s as cozy and carefree as a living-room fort made of bedsheets and broomsticks.
