Alternative folk singer-songwriter Rory Taillon is sharing his fourth full-length album Now It’s Quiet on Tuesday August 20th, 2024. The album features the two previously released singles, “Hatchet” and “Wish You Would Stay.” The record’s main theme centres on loss, “whether it is the loss of someone you love, the loss of a friendship, loss of an ideal, or the loss of contempt towards something that hurt you,” explains Taillon. He will be touring Canada in support of the record through the end of the summer and the fall.  

This song is about trying to make sense of one’s own grief while watching others grieve the same person in their own ways. I lost a really close friend of mine who I had been friends with since childhood. At his wake there were a number of people that I hadn’t seen since high school. Another friend of mine made a joke saying, “This is the worst reunion I’ve ever been to,” and I thought that was really dark and profound and decided to run with that thought. – Rory Taillon
