Patrick Watson signs to Domino, announces new LP
28 January 2012

List All News - Back
Patrick Watson will be releasing his new album on Domino and Secret City in April of this year. "Adventures In Your Own Backyard" will be released the week of 30th April in the UK and US, and 16th April in his native Canada, continental Europe and Japan.

Adventures... was made at home after a gruelling five-year run that saw Patrick and his band tour the world in support of two critically-acclaimed and successful albums, including the Polaris award-winning "Close To Paradise". During this time, Patrick also contributed to "Ma Fleur", the 2007 album from The Cinematic Orchestra, co-writing and singing on a sizeable portion of the record. In Patrick's own words, "Adventures..." is an effort on the band's part to "make the kind of music we would want to listen to at home." The album's title is a nod to this sentiment and to the fact that it was recorded almost entirely in Watson's apartment in Montreal, unlike his previous efforts which were sprawling recordings in both geography and arrangements.
