Songs for the taking: “Anything that I wouldn’t ever want to tell anyone—I just put it on the record,” says Canadian indie-folk musician Leif Vollebekk about his latest album, New Ways. The follow-up to Twin Solitude, his breakthrough Polaris Music Prize finalist and Juno-nominated record, the album reads like a film, with narrative lyrics on unabashed desire, longing, risk, and tenderness. Vollebekk, who sings about losing love, releasing the past, and embracing reality, says, “That last record I made for me, this one is for someone else.”
