Slow Leaves

The Ruins Of Things Unfinished

Slow Leaves is the solo project of Winnipeg-based songwriter and producer Grant Davidson, whose work blends folk and psych-rock with an understated emotional precision.

'The Ruins of Things Unfinished' is Davidson’s sixth full-length album of new material and his most immediate recording to date. Tracked largely live off the floor with producer Kris Ulrich, the album captures the intimacy and emotional weight of Slow Leaves’ songwriting with a new sense of presence and warmth. The record explores inherited trauma, ambition, parenthood, and the quiet work of self-reckoning, drawing its title from Fernando Pessoa’s line, “I am composed of the ruins of things unfinished.”

The Bros. Landreth

Dog Ear

Grammy-winning songwriters The Bros. Landreth return with their fourth studio full-length, 'Dog Ear'. The multiple JUNO-winning Winnipeg-based roots rockers deliver a heartfelt and energetic record that captures the undeniable energy of a band deep in the pocket. Sonically inspired by the joy and camaraderie experienced on the road during two vibrant years of post-pandemic touring, brothers Joey and Dave Landreth, along with close collaborators Roman Clarke, Murray Pulver, and Ian Phillips, entered the studio to bottle that lightning. Recorded over an inspired five-day session, 'Dog Ear' stands out as the band’s most joyful and hopeful album yet, moving beyond past melancholy to explore themes of family, optimism, and emotional resilience.

The album features 11 emotionally resonant tracks, highlighted by contributions from legendary artist Bonnie Raitt, who lends her iconic voice to the captivating 'Half Moon Eyes' and transforms 'Knuckles' into a profound duet. Fellow Winnipeg powerhouse Begonia delivers a mesmerizing performance on the album closer, 'Strange Dear', adding intimate depth to the record’s narrative. At its core, 'Dog Ear' is an honest exploration of what it means to be consistently present for the people you love—particularly through the lens of parenthood. Songs like the buoyant 'I’ll Drive', written with Nashville’s Jonathan Singleton, encapsulate carefree escapism, while the tender 'Half of Me' underscores the profound connections defining relationships. Standouts 'Dog Ear' and 'Vincent' offer compelling meditations on stability, friendship, and personal growth, delivered with the Bros.’ signature deft guitar work, melodic warmth, and lyrical sincerity. Having garnered international acclaim, JUNO Awards, a Grammy Award (as songwriters for Bonnie Raitt’s Grammy-winning 2023 Americana Performance of “Made Up Mind”), and critical praise from Rolling Stone, NPR, American Songwriter, and more, The Bros. Landreth continue to solidify their reputation as masters of their craft. Their vibrant live performances have captivated audiences worldwide, and with 'Dog Ear', they deliver their most cohesive and uplifting statement yet.
