Description

Starter Home was originally released November 2, 2018 on US-based label, No Quarter. From Pitchfork, at the time: For a decade, Canadian singer/songwriter Doug Paisley has turned quiet, specific moments into inquiries on lifes larger struggles. On his 2010 breakthrough, Constant Companion, Paisley used the inevitability of endings to explore understanding oneself, the only possible uneasy relationship with life, or how their juxtaposition ripples into every wave of existence. And now, on his fourth album, Starter Home, Paisley details the chasm that separates what poet Seamus Heaney described as getting started and getting started again. These songs examine how the person you are never truly aligns with the person you want to be, especially when you stumble upon a sticking point thats hard to move past.
