KIKU means "to listen" in Japanese. Every Tuesday we slow down, gather in a room, and hear a record the way it was meant to be heard, with attention, context, and other people.
December 22 is Cobblestone Runway (2002). Ron grew up in St. Catharines and came to Toronto in the 80s, working as a courier by day and playing the clubs at night. Years later he made this record with the Swedish producer Martin Terefe, named it after a rough landing at Heathrow, and let a disco beat into his songs. Chris Martin of Coldplay turned up to sing on a version of Gold in Them Hills. The kind of songwriting other songwriters study. We play it front to back.
Tasting notes: Black coffee on a grey morning, Trinity Bellwoods leaves, a sweet streak of pop. Light body, lingers for days.
