Patrick Watson - Adventures In Your Own Backyard on CD

Description

The album was made at home after a gruelling five-year run that saw Patrick and his band tour the world in support of two critically-acclaimed and successful albums, including the Polaris award-winning 'Close To Paradise'. During this time, Patrick also contributed to 'Ma Fleur', the 2007 album from The Cinematic Orchestra, co-writing and singing on a sizeable portion of the record. In Patrick's own words, 'Adventures In Your Own Backyard' is an effort on the band's part to "make the kind of music we would want to listen to at home." The album's title is a nod to this sentiment and to the fact that it was recorded almost entirely in Watson's apartment in Montreal, unlike his previous efforts which were sprawling recordings in both geography and arrangements.
