THIS ITEM IS A PRE-ORDER AND WILL SHIP ON OR BEFORE THE JUNE 10 RELEASE DATE.VINYL FORMAT. The first thing you notice about In Field & Town is Hayden's songwriting seems to be a bit more upbeat. The title track starts the record and the distorted sound and drums really energize you. Hayden's vocals delivery is still the same, but it's matched with a more experimental groove. The track settles into a nice rhythm but adds some tambourine, bossa nova percussion and subtle bass piano notes   [ read more ]

Hayden returns after a four-year hiatus with 11 songs of despair and hope. "Skyscraper National Park" occupies a diverse landscape: raw and bleak, yet warm and bright at once. From a high falsetto to a low growl, from a distant piano and thin guitar to lush strings and horns, Hayden traverses the span of wide-open spaces to solitary introspection. There is heartbreak and there is comfort. There is light and there is shadow. The misconceptions of a soul that is troubled and moody are dispelled by Hayden's li   [ read more ]

Solitary, rootsy post-punk of the best kind, delving into somewhat dark and twisted terrrain, but invested with a lot of passion and unflinching grit. The sparse and haunting arrangements put acoustic guitars at the forefront, but vary the pace with occasional searing licks, eerie solo piano, and harmony vocals. It's one of the relatively few releases of this type that will find a comfortable home in the collections of those with an ear for either stark folk-rock or grunge. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music G   [ read more ]

Upon the release of his debut album, 1996s Everything I Long For, Toronto singer/songwriter Hayden found himself at the center of a major-label bidding war. Choosing, initially, to remain independent, he released Moving Careful, this 1997 EP on Canada's Sonic Unyon. Though his biggest preoccupation is with love (both lost and found), each song offers a refreshing approach to the subject. They feel like portraits; sketches of events that rarely make plain their intent the first time around. On {&   [ read more ]

Following the evocatively mellow Skyscraper National Park, Hayden decided to tour the North American continent all by his lonesome, bringing his acoustic guitar, wavering voice, and unexpected humor to small clubs and theaters. This double-CD set captures the singer/songwriter in his hometown of Toronto performing 22 songs from his extensive catalog in front of a theater filled with appreciative fans. The recording is a beautiful testament to the stripped-down beauty of the songs, and with material   [ read more ]
