Ian William Craig returns with a new album heavily shrouded in personal experience. The recording took place around the heavy wildfire season in British Columbia, Canada, 2018, during which time Craig lost his grandfather and felt the scepter of climate change hanging heavily over his life and those around him. In exceptional circumstances he made this album with his grandfather’s piano and some tape processing, placing himself and his voice front and centre and laying bare the pain of loss and the uncertainty of the future. There is hope and love folded into the music too, culminating in a beautiful moving album that stands as a career high point for one of the most inventive contemporary singer-songwriters out there. – Juno
