BIO
The nine folk-rock tracks that make up Kyles Stephens’ debut album Considering Every Change invite us to celebrate our surroundings and bend towards life’s difficult shifts with grace. Before these compositions came to fruition, the life-long musician took a creative sabbatical. He focused on his career in environmental science and data analysis. With time, that creative hunger returned and Stephens began writing again.
That patience and introspective compassion is evident in these sprawling compositions of warm acoustic guitars, steadfast drums, and rich piano embellishments. It was recorded at fellow Canadian musician Jonas Bonnetta’s Port William Sound studio in Mountain Grove between two sessions at the height of Ontario summer and winter. Whether Stephens is singing about valuing his relationship and the memories it's gifted him, the swift changing of seasons, or emitting a signal of love for friendships that have naturally drifted away, his music reminds us to pause and listen.
