Gabrielle Papillon is re-releasing her album The Currency of Poetry as a solo project with 3 additional new songs and a new version of the track Years in Our Bones on the American Indie label Constant Clip Records. She is the first Canadian to have joined the label and this will be her first project to be released with them.
The album will feature contributions by some exceptional Montreal artists: Simon Honeyman (Honeyman and the Brothers Farr), Corinna Rose, Lisa Malachowski (Mind That Bird), Ram Krishnan (The Unsettlers, Bad Uncle), Kristina Koropecki (Marc Berubé), and JS Brault-Labbé (The Blue Seeds). The new tracks are being recorded at The Treatment Room (Timber Timbre, Stars, The Acorn, Plants and Animals) and mastered by Matt Connell at Northwood Studios.
She has received grant funding for a portion of the studio recordings and needs to raise funds for CD production and design, mastering, and producer fees for her co-producer.
The album is due out in early September just in time for Gabrielle’s Cross-Canada Tour with Kim Wempe.
All contributions will be rewarded with her undying love and gratitude and ANY contribution is welcome.
