With the release of Adventures in Your Own Backyard slated for Tuesday, singer-songwriter, Patrick Watson and his band will mark their fourth album since 2003, and you get a sneak preview right here on Radio3.
Watson’s band began as a multimedia project that soon formed into a four-piece cinematic and collaborative musical project. The band has performed with artists like The Dears, Philip Glass, The Stills and many more. Watson’s latest offering, Adventures in Your Own Backyard, was made after a five-year tour in support of two critically acclaimed and successful albums, one of which won the Polaris Music Prize in 2007.
In Watson’s own words, the newest work is an effort to “make the kind of music we would want to listen to at home.” Reinforcing that sentiment, the album was recorded almost entirely in Watson’s apartment in Montreal.
It’s an album of epic beauty, so listen up!
