Jan 24, 2012Provincial is fully formed-far closer to a Weakerthans album--and with some different collaborators to add some new textures, especially chamber arrangements.
-
Jan 20, 2012Still on offer are his immaculately crafted lyrics and preoccupation with place.
-
Feb 17, 2012Samson's words are the star of the show, and their ornate depictions of rural Canada, soft romantic devotion and computer programming make Provincial a quietly beautiful experience.
