My Take
Patrick Watson is the kind of artist I return to when I want music that paints rather than merely plays. Coming out of Montreal, he blends cabaret pop, classical textures and indie rock into something genuinely his own, which is why comparisons to Rufus Wainwright, Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley feel earned rather than lazy. I find his decision to name the band after himself oddly fitting, since the songs feel like extensions of one restless sensibility. He is an experimenter who never forgets melody, and that balance is harder to achieve than it sounds.
