These Trails Are Old And New

'Won't you come back home? Well, I don't think so.' This telling exchange from 'Run From Safety' epitomizes the ethos of Octoberman's Marc Morrissette. In 2003, the itinerant songwriter abandoned his Vancouver home, took a break from his band, Kids These Days, and departed for travels through Asia and Europe. When Morrissette returned to North American shores, he arrived bearing a travel journal blackened with observations and reflections. These insights would soon become the basis of Octoberman’s critically-acclaimed 2005 debut, These Trails Are Old and New.
