Ron Sexsmith’s Exit Strategy of the Soul, out July 8th

Produced by Martin Terefe, who also produced 2005’s Retriever and 2002’s Cobblestone Runway, Exit Strategy of the Soul was recorded in varied locations including studios in London, England and Havana, Cuba. Its ambitious arrangements, backed by a punctuating and swelling horn section on nearly every song, complete an album that is one of Sexsmith’s most wide-ranging in breadth of sound and feel.
With Ron Sexsmith’s disarmingly warm, inviting voice and his brilliant lyrical melancholy, the album’s 14 tracks contain observations on spirituality, love and the ever present hope that the beauty of life can overcome the world’s harshness. Also included here is Sexsmith’s joyful recording of “Brandy Alexander,” a song co-written with fellow Canadian, Feist, whose own version appears on her 2007 hit album The Reminder.

every new ron sexsmith’s record is a event, caus’ he is a genius. one of greatest songwriter of the world, and for me the number one. all these records are wonderful and the better is retriever but maybe “exit strategy of the soul” will be more better than retriever. it will become a classic record.
