Double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes digital downloads. Introducing The Garden: a strings album and a retrospective from a room in Montreal with the windows open, and the wind moving, and the leaves changing, and a spring-coloured secret on the tip of Basia Bulat's tongue. The Garden gathers fourteen string arrangements by three different arrangers (Owen Pallett, Paul Frith, and Zou Zou Robidoux), revisiting material from all five of Bulat's studio albums. There's Pallett's interpretation of 2010"s 'Heart of my Own,' calling back to the Béla Bartók compositions that marked Bulat's high-school career as an upright bassist. There's Frith's 'Infamous,' which turns 2016"s prickly kiss-off into something open-facing and generous. And there's Robidoux's reimagining of 'Are You In Love?' ' released just last year ' which here becomes a whirling ballroom dance, full of discovery.
