Recorded live across Canada in Edmonton, Victoria, and Toronto, respectively, this album represents over a year of steadfast touring by the trio, with national dates and American dates stretching from Halifax to Vancouver, Boston to San Francisco. At this point, they had become a family and their connection is palpable in each and every track. Produced by John Switzer in Toronto, this album features another band release of “Show Up Outside,” and arguably the most beautifully and elaborate arrangement of the song released to date. It also features the first recording of “Pek,” the song that became an Ember Swift anthem and was performed at nearly every show for nine solid years.
