The new album by the JUNO Award and Polaris Music Prize nominee is an ambitious lyrical and sonic departure for the songwriter, less an LP and more a collection of short stories brought to life with radio-ready acoustic accompaniments and Wood’s unmistakable rasp. Citing the work of poet Bronwyn Wallace, novelists Richard Ford and Alice Munro as major creative inspirations, Woods says, “The writing I have always liked is about things that are indicative of a world but not the entire world. … I’m inspired by writing that leads you into the room and then leaves you to fill in the details.”
