A mention of Patrick Watson can elicit some confusion, given that people often refer to both the art-pop auteur and the band he formed at the dawn of the early-2000s Montreal indie-rock boom by that moniker. But the question of “who is Patrick Watson?” only turns murkier as you wade into his expansive catalogue: Is he the velvet-voiced, Jeff Buckley-esque visionary of 2006’s Polaris Music Prize-winning Close to Paradise, or the carnivalesque ringleader heard on 2009’s Wooden Arms? Is he the angelic chamber-pop emissary of 2012’s “Adventures in Your Own Backyard”, or the haunted piano balladeer of 2017’s “Broken”? No matter the answer, each Patrick Watson song is a masterclass in emotionally resonant songcraft and cinematic splendour.
