This track comes off the singer songwriter’s latest album Big Intruder it is an interesting exploration of folkish songwriting. Crafting a track with a steady electronic element in the background, Jordan Klassen creates something that is almost otherworldly within the brief track. Think Noah and the Whale meets a more grounded Sufjan Stevens. The result is a compelling sound from this Canadian songwriter with an impressive musical resume that will only continue to impress.

Big Intruder, Jordan Klassen’s new album since 2016’s critically acclaimed Javelin has been announced today for release late september and we could not be more excited!! Can’t wait for you to hear this huge step forward in Jordan’s musical career.

Track By Track: Jordan Klassen on new EP Curses

Jordan Klassen writes for us on his forthcoming “Curses EP”, outlining the stories behind each of the five tracks on the follow-up to 2016’s Javelin. Curses is a darker record, that sees Klassen mining the depths of mental illness with starkly beautiful honesty,

Curses is a collection of songs examining my own mental illness and reflecting on the common experiences I’ve found among my peers in its woes. While I often try to make sure some hope and brightness breaks through in my work, on this record I allowed myself to really be honest about some of the darkness that’s shaped who I am.

Carol This is a song I wanted to illuminate a bit of what relationship anxiety feels like from the inside. It’s actually written to my now-wife, trying to explain and to be grateful.

Curses “Curses” is about facing the darkness of mental illness, calling out what it feels like to constantly be berated with negative self-thoughts and cynicism.

Light Come Again In recent years I’ve spent a lot of time pondering my own propensity toward longing, and never feeling quite satisfied. Even when I get what I want it seems that it’s not quite what I had hoped. This song explores some of these thoughts.

Night Is Young, Story Is Old I turned 30 right before I wrote this song, and was experiencing a lot of fear of how quickly my life seemed to passing by – like I had wasted so many of my years. At the same time, I was perhaps a little annoyed at myself for this fear. I am, after all, still a young buck.

Cool Night “Cool Night” is a tune that’s been in my psyche for a long time. I’d always wanted to write something that had a big build out of some deep melancholy. I wanted to describe one of those moments in the midst of mental illness where you feel ok, calm, like everything’s going to be ok. Your head pops above the water for a moment.

The WOODEN SKY – ” American Girl ” Tom Petty Cover

With their upcoming album, “Let’s Be Ready”, the Wooden Sky rocks their roots in a big way with steely riffs and rumbling rhythms underneath often anthemic melodies. That bigger and bolder sound has emerged from the vigorous touring schedule they’ve maintained over the past few years. Naturally, the band wanted to capture that same raw energy on their new record.

Tasked with writing tunes that fit, front man Gavin Gardiner mined life and love for topics. Songs in hand, the band went back out to road test them. Some made the cut, some didn’t when the Wooden Sky returned home ready to record. In the studio, they tracked as much of the set as they could with live takes. They took the same approach when it came to putting the songs on video, including this bonus cut — their rendition of Tom Petty’s “American Girl.”

‘We still believe in rock and roll — this song embodies a lot of that spirit,” Gardiner explains. “It’s an early Tom Petty classic and one we’ve been playing live off and on for a few years. We were in a little beach town filming our own songs at an old theatre when one of the camera men, who’d been with us since our early days, asked us if we would play ‘American Girl’ for him. It had been a long day of filming, but we fired up one take for old times’ sake. When we got the footage back, it was clear that we’d captured something and thought maybe it was time we put our take on it out there into the world.”
