Print Edition: November 14, 2012
This album came out last spring and I somehow missed it until now. I started being a Patrick Watson fan in my first year of university with
Wooden Arms â and it turns out that
Adventures in Your Own Backyard is a symmetrical bookend to that album. Theyâve added more brass to this album than I remember them having before, but other than that, theyâve continued playing with the same elements of good old Patrick Watson classic sound.
Just so you donât think that I have absolutely no grasp of verb conjugation, itâs probably important to note that Patrick Watson is a band (with lead singer Patrick Watson) and not just a single guy.
