- Kevin Hearns new album Cloud Maintenance is about journeys. From wintery wilderness cabins to sunshine-y cities of love, from the clouds at the edge of space to the centre of the mind, Hearn takes us to all these places and more on Cloud Maintenances 10 songs. Recorded in Torontos Orange and Canterbury Studios as well as Hearns cabin in Northern Ontario, on an island, in a forest on a lake, in the dead of winter, Cloud Maintenance is his second solo album and follows the Barenaked Ladies multi-instrumentalists 1997 record Mothball Mint as well as four more recent records with his full band as Kevin Hearn & Thinbuckle. What is heavy is Cloud Maintenances guest list. Beyond Hearns work with Barenaked Ladies and with Thinbuckle hes also toured as Lou Reeds band leader and keyboard player, and as pianist with Laurie Anderson. Hes also played with the Rheostatics, the Look People, and even a band with his comedian cousin Harland Williams as, aptly, The Cousins. Many of the friends Hearn made on these journeys helped in Cloud Maintenances creation. Long-time ally Michael Phillip Wojewoda co-produced Cloud Maintenance with Hearn (We make a good team and love working together. Hes got a great, courageous spirit.) and Thinbuckle members present and past Brian MacMillan, Chris Gartner, Great Bob Scott, and Derek Orford all contribute. Lou Reeds drummer Tony Thunder Smith plays on multiple songs, and the smile at the end of the record, the monstrously catchy Monsters Anonymous features Jenn Grant, Hawksley Workman and Sahara MacDonald, amongst others. Whether its in the clouds or in the wilderness, Kevin Hearn continues to make music in new and interesting ways. This is the journey of Cloud Maintenance.
