Hayden – Are We Good (Digital, 2023)

No.5142

Get ready for the highly-anticipated release of Hayden’s tenth studio album, “Are We Good.” As the reigning king of Canadian slacker folk, Hayden presents a crowning achievement in his remarkable repertoire of heartfelt indie folk. This album has been a long time coming, marking his first release since 2015’s “Hey Love.” Notably, Hayden collaborates with some incredible talent, including guest vocals by Feist and co-writing by The National’s Matt Berninger.

The lead single, “On A Beach,” is a refreshing departure from Hayden’s typically somber sound. Its catchy chorus, “we’re drinking income taxes and there’s sand at our feet,” lifts spirits and brings a sense of buoyancy. With a spare bass groove, delicate handclaps, and Hayden’s unique tenor vocals, the song bursts into a harmonious blend alongside the enchanting Leslie Feist. It’s a harmonious journey with arpeggiators that will leave you captivated.

Hayden showcases his exceptional songwriting skills on this album by exploring a wider range of emotions and sonic textures. You’ll find yourself immersed in a sonic experience that combines the essence of Pavement and Leonard Cohen.

Written, engineered, and produced by Hayden himself, this album is brought to you by Arts & Crafts Production Inc.

This is one release you won’t want to miss.
