When Patrick Watson sings the refrain "Started as lovers / Don't know where it's gonna end" on "Into Giants", off the upcoming album Adventures In Your Own Backyard (out on April 17th in Canada on Secret City Records, on Domino elsewhere), it feels painfully bittersweet. The plaintive repetition evokes the best kind of passionate relationship, whether it be a romantic one between two people or that between a musical artist and their most ardent fans. As can now be expected in Watson's songs, the unexpected rears it's head. In this, it's in the form of a fanfare-like trumpet that turns this adorable but otherwise ordinary pop gem into something altogether more anthemic and celebratory.
