Tonight we feature and interview with Leif Vollebekk. Leif is originally from Ottawa but moved to Montreal some years ago - in part to kickstart his music career. Since moving he has released 3 albums and an e.p. of covers. His third album Twin Solitude was recently released on Secretly Canadian Records. While it took four years for Leif to follow up on his second album North Americana, during the interview Leif explains that writing and recording the new album didn't take very long at all. He went through a process of revisiting old songs, questioning his creative process and then performing a lot of covers before undertaking the new album. We talk about the sounds on the new album (the drums are quite interesting on a number of tracks) and how he wrote and recorded it. Leif is in Ottawa on Friday (April 14) for a sold out show at the First Baptist Church.
