This album by the Canadian singer-songwriter is a collection of folk songs adorned with paisley 1960s and '70s tones. While the music has a retro sensibility, this is balanced by an immediacy in the lyrics that anchors him firmly in the present day. Influences include Nick Drake, Roky Erickson and Neil Young as well as Bonny "Prince" Billy, Bedouine, Big Thief and Bill Callahan.
