British Columbian songwriter Aidan Knight is set to follow-up his brilliant albums Versicolor and Small Reveal with a third, as of yet unnamed album coming this fall. Produced by Marcus Paquin and mixed by Mathieu Parisien, the LP will be released on Canadian label Outside Music. Details are pretty scarce but you can listen to the first single, ‘The Arp’, right now. Near-seven minutes in length, it starts off as a smooth and kinda groovy soft rock track which threatens several crescendos before the horned-filled celebratory climax around the halfway mark. “What a life I have lived,” Knight sings, “Can I live it again?” But the song has not burned out, remaining as a glowing ember for a further minute before sparking back into life for the closing stretch, a swirling dream of guitars and wordless vocals which ebb and flow until the end.

The album will be out sometime this Autumn on Outside Music. We’ll bring you more as and when we get it. In the meantime, Knight featured on this mix of Canadian music we made with the ever-reliable HI54LOFI, so why not give that a spin?
