Devarrow, the creative persona of Canadian Folk singer/songwriter and producer, Graham Ereaux, has released a surprise full-length album, A Long & Distant Wave via Paper Bag Records.

The new album’s arrival is accompanied by new track “Something About Getting Old” which highlights the previous single “Kickin”.

Graham Ereaux notes:

‘Something About Getting Old’ was one of the first songs I recorded for A Long & Distant Wave, and helped form the backbone of the record’s vibe and lyrical content. This song was also one of the first times I experimented with ad-libbing lyrics, and in fact, the lyrics of the outro were all done in one take, with no ready-made writing or prompts.

Devarrow challenges conventional narratives around art creation and “aims to dismantle the notion that art must emerge from a tortured and introspective place dictated by emotions.” Instead, he “advocates for making art quickly and for the sheer joy of it, without compromising artistic integrity.”

While serving as a standalone piece, A Long & Distant Wave is a precursor to upcoming releases scheduled for the latter half of 2024.
