The Ruins of Things Unfinished

Slow Leaves is the solo project of Winnipeg-based songwriter and producer Grant Davidson, whose work blends folk and psych-rock with an understated emotional precision that has built a loyal international following. 

The Ruins of Things Unfinished is Davidson’s sixth full-length album of new material and his most immediate recording to date. Tracked largely live off the floor with producer Kris Ulrich, the album captures the intimacy and emotional weight of Slow Leaves’ songwriting with a new sense of presence and warmth. The record explores inherited trauma, ambition, parenthood, and the quiet work of self-reckoning, drawing its title from Fernando Pessoa’s line, “I am composed of the ruins of things unfinished.”
