Event information

Canadian troubadour Aidan Knight has announced the release of his UK debut Each Other, which will be available 22 January 2016 via Full Time Hobby – and he has unveiled a majestic new track from the album, entitled The Arp.

Each Other was recorded at the Bathouse Studio, just outside of Kingston, Canada, and home to Millhaven Maximum Security Prison. Aidan’s band sequestered themselves in the studio for over two weeks with producer Marcus Paquin (The National, Local Natives, Stars). The band and Paquin were meticulous with each song, piecing together the raw energy of the live show along with the layered textures that could only be captured in the studio. An exhaustive process to say the least which Knight reflects on in saying, ‘Marcus, guided an unruly collection of ideas and a sometimes impulsive person (me) with remarkable patience (Marcus is also a new father).’ Each Other was mixed over a very cold winter by Mathieu Parisian, known for his work with Patrick Watson and Karkwa, and a man familiar with intricately elaborate recordings.

It’s hard to pin down the specific sounds that influence Aidan as Each Other possesses its own unique mood and atmosphere. Challenging yet comforting, a poignant album for our time, steeped in melancholy but with a brittle optimism and ultimately a joyful auditory experience for any true music fan.
