Retriever marks Sexsmith’s fourth collaboration with Martin Terefe, the London-based Swedish producer who originally invited him into the studio to perform a duet (“Always”) with Shea Seger on her 2001 debut, May Street Project.

From a writing standpoint Sexsmith is predictably ruthless, leaving your heart in bleeding shambles with his trademark bittersweet optimism.

Albums like Retriever are so absolutely rare these days that they deserve to be enjoyed by so many more people than they no doubt will be.
