The masterful follow-up to his universally celebrated 2017 album 50, Michael Chapman’s True North finds the elder statesman of British songwriting and guitar plumbing an even deeper deep and honing an ever keener edge to his iconic writing. This authoritative set of predominantly new, and utterly devastating, songs hews to a more intimate sonic signature—more atmospheric, textural, and minimalist than 50, stately and melancholy in equal measure. Recorded in rural West Wales, True North unflinchingly surveys home and horizon, traveling from the Bahamas to Texas to the Leeds of Chapman’s childhood, haunted by the mirages of memory and intimations of mortality. Joining him on this introspective journey is a cast of old friends and new disciples: once again Steve Gunn produces and plays guitar, and fellow UK songwriting hero Bridget St John sings, collaborating with cellist Sarah Smout and legendary pedal steel player BJ Cole, who has accompanied everyone from John Cale to Scott Walker, Elton John to Terry Allen, Felt to Björk to Brian Eno.

Longtime friends The Weather Station and Jennifer Castle, two of the greatest working songwriters and poetic voices in Canada—or anywhere on this blighted, beautiful planet—have recorded a miraculous, magical pair of songs together, available to stream and purchase today. The Weather Station’s “I Tried to Wear the World (featuring Jennifer Castle)” and Jennifer Castle’s “Midas Touch (featuring The Weather Station)," two sides of the same tarnished gold coin of sorrowfully sweet sentiments, were recorded in a single day at Sugar Shack studio in London, Ontario this past August. Captured by videographer Colin Medley, this represents their first-ever studio collaboration and the third edition of the Polaris Collaboration Sessions.

Nathan Bowles

Plainly Mistaken

LP/CD/Digital

PoB-043

Worldwide release date: 10/5/18

On his playfully subversive fourth solo album, Nathan Bowles (Steve Gunn, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) extends his acclaimed banjo and percussion practice into the full-band realm for the first time, showcasing both delicate solo meditations and smoldering, swinging ensemble explorations featuring Casey Toll (Jake Xerxes Fussell, Mt. Moriah) on double bass and Rex McMurry (CAVE) on drums. As he considers the cycles of deceit and self-deception that shape both our personal and political lives, a mixed mood of melancholy and merriment permeates Bowles’s own compositions as well as the interpretive material, which draws from traditional Appalachian repertoires and the diverse songbooks of Julie Tippetts, Cousin Emmy, and Silver Apples.

“Bowles has the power to transform the sound of a banjo—and folk music—into something transcendental ... something boundless and new. [He’s] a crucial force in folk music, showcasing his ability to interweave the genre’s communal spirit with chilling moments of ambient introspection.” – Pitchfork

“I don’t think Nathan has ever ridden a dolphin, but I think if faced with the task he would cotton quick. That’s how I see his approach to his music.” – Bill Callahan
