Ron Sexsmith has made a most unlikely discovery: domestic bliss. Following 30 years as an emblem of Toronto’s west end, he reluctantly uprooted to the serene hamlet of Stratford, Ontario, and the melodic, playful, theatrically vivacious album Hermitage came gushing out.
Further reflecting Sexsmith’s new confidence, Hermitage is the first album on which he played nearly all the instruments. The singer-songwriter’s latest album is his most self-assured collection, still charmingly subtle yet increasingly full of musical vigor. “I think it’s a very upbeat album, lyrically,” he confirms. “It’s reflective of the sort of peacefulness that I’d recently felt. I’m getting more comfortable in my own skin.”
