Pat LePoidevin premieres first single from American Fiction

Pat LePoidevin premieres “Winter Park, CO,“ the first single from his forthcoming album, American Fiction (releasedTuesday, August 27). He will be previewing material from the album on a string of Eastern Canadian tour dates this June (details below).

American Fiction, the fourth album from Pat LePoidevin, is a heartfelt tribute to family, youth, and recurrence. Crafted over a winter spent along the Nova Scotia coastline, LePoidevin’s latest effort swells with the presence and confidence of a songwriter truly coming into his own.

At the core of American Fiction sits LePoidevin’s folk influence, expanded upon by needle-sharp guitarist and co-writer Lewis Smith. Precision drumming by Christine McLaughlan and lush orchestral arrangements highlight powerful vocals and give life to LePoidevin’s full lyrical bodies.

American Fiction plays out like a series of intercepted love letters, with familiar themes and unknown postmarks. Stories of family, love, and warmth, beat and pulse and grow to dark barrel-chested entities, with full lives in the vast unvisited America. By his own admission, these are untrue stories, but with every breath, LePoidevin creates truth and life from nothing. An American Fiction in name only, this album births a beautiful and real world, with baseball games, jean jackets and above all, full hearts.
