Next Kathleen Edwards Album–“Voyager”–Produced with Justin Vernon

Oct 16th, 2011 in Music

We have been huge fans of Kathleen Edwards from the outset of her career, starting with 2003’s “Failer,” then with 2005’s “Back to Me,” and then her last album, 2008’s phenomenal “Asking for Flowers.”  She’s about to release a new album entitled “Voyager,” on our favorite day of the year (January 17th).  The new album was recorded in Wisconsin (in boyfriend Justin Vernon‘s neck of the woods) and Edwards hometown, Toronto.  The album was co-produced by Vernon and features collaborations with members of Bon Iver, the fabulous Megafaun and the storming Stornoway, as well as (s)Norah Jones. Based on the two tracks below it sounds like a departure of sorts, but with the same great songwriting we’ve come to expect from Edwards.

Check out two new songs, the first off of the new album and the second one a new track that “didn’t fit the album” : Change the Sheets and Wapusk (featuring Bon Iver).
