Legendary Toronto singer-songwriter Hayden has been making gorgeous and effective indie folk since 1996 before the proliferation of the genre. Often likened to Neil Young and Leonard Cohen in the same breath as Pavement and Sebadoh, Hayden has built a cult following on earnest and soulful indie rock, with his tenth album a crowning achievement waiting in the wings. Are We Good, Hayden’s 9th studio album featuring contributions from Feist and the National’s Matt Berninger, is a crowning achievement in his well deep catalogue of carefully hewn and heartrending indie folk – and his much-anticipated first new album since 2015’s Hey Love.
