Alternative folk singer-songwriter Rory Taillon is sharing his fourth full-length album, the beguiling and vulnerable Now It’s Quiet. The record’s main theme centres on loss, “whether it is the loss of someone you love, the loss of a friendship, loss of an ideal, or the loss of contempt towards something that hurt you,” explains Taillon.
The album’s focus track, “Reunions,” faces grief head on as Taillon contemplates the need for reunions “if our childhood friends keep on dying.” His rich, classically trained voice is coupled with simple acoustic guitar on this subtle yet powerful arrangement.

Taillon drew inspiration on Now It’s Quiet from losing one of his best friends, silver linings, and reflecting on things in his past that continue to bother him. Contrary to the album’s subject matter, Taillon’s experience working with frequent collaborator and co-producer Dean Watson was wonderful.
“He has a new studio in his home just across the river in Quebec,” says Taillon. “My amazing wife and I spent the better part of the week there recording this album and it was a great experience filled with lots of conversation, emotions, laughter, coffee and some collaboration. One of my best and most stress-free recording experiences to date.”
