“One of the most affecting albums you’ll hear all year” - LOUD & QUIET [8/10]

“When the Polaris Prize winner performs it’s deliberate, impeccably appointed music that still seems airy and spontaneous.” - NPR MUSIC

The Canadian artist Patrick Watson's sixth studio album, Wave, is about having a wave knock you over when you realize everything you have in life can be wiped away in a moment – and then learning how not to drown in the process. During the making of the album, Patrick lost his mother, his longtime drummer left the group, and he and his partner separated. Watson brought a notebook underneath the waves and composed tunes about melancholy while listening to the lonely hymns of mermaids. The songs are about how sometimes you have to sing a love song to yourself when no one else will, allowing the sound carry you and learning to trust where you will land. It is very personal and intimate, and it is the most humble of all their records.

Wave was produced by Patrick Watson; recorded and mixed by Rob Heaney and Watson at Studio 105 and Studio Pierre-Marchand in Montreal; and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound.

The recipients of Canada’s Polaris Music Prize in 2007, in addition to Juno and Polaris nominations, Watson and his band have toured on all continents, on occasion playing with full orchestras to bring the rich music to life. Raised and still living in Montreal, Watson has composed several scores for both film and television, including a trailer for The Walking Dead and Wim Wenders’ 3D film Everything Will Be Fine.
