Kathleen Edwards - Voyageur

180g Gram Vinyl featuring cameos including Norah Jones, Phil Cook (Megafaun), Sean Carey (also of Bon Iver), Stornoway, and Francis and the Lights!

Aided by the music support of fellow travelers Justin Vernon and Norah Jones, "Voyageur" features standout tracks such as "Change the Sheets", "Mint", and "A Soft Place to Land".

Co-produced by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and Edwards herself, Voyageur sees the Wisconsin resident also play banjo, guitar, xylophone, bass, and piano. Additional cameos include Norah Jones, Phil Cook (Megafaun), Sean Carey (also of Bon Iver), Stornoway, and Francis and the Lights. Of the collaborative-heavy effort, Edwards told Exclaim! that she allowed herself to make songwriting less of a secluded act. "For the first time, I was open to the idea of co-writing, and what had previously been an intensely private process became a challenge to see what would happen with an open mind to a different approach."

'Voyageur' evokes a spectrum of overwhelming feelings within the atmosphere of a lucid dream. Edwards' characters speak to the grief, loneliness, shock, and confusion that come with endings as well as the hope and irrepressible joy that accompany new beginnings, but the stores are told with a seductively quiet strength.
