Doug Paisley's Starter Home album is out today!

Doug Paisley's new album Starter Home album is out now on No Quarter. Check out the title track below. 
Here's the scoop...
To make his first album in nearly 5 years, singer/songwriter Doug Paisley stayed in his hometown of Toronto playing with old friends and collaborators, and recording in home studios around the city. He spent the previous few years writing, and Starter Home showcases an already brilliant songwriter getting even better.

Paisley’s last album Strong Feelings was released in 2014. In some ways it was an exercise in excess (in an indie-musician kind of way), recorded in various studios across Canada and the US.

Perhaps a reaction to 2010's Constant Companion (2010) and 2009's self-titled debut, both recorded quickly, over a matter of days, Starter Home falls in between. Though Paisley took his time to make the record, the goal was simplicity, with a desire to remain focused on the songs. The recording itself is quiet, often only minimally adorned.

Between albums, Paisley started a family and took some time off from touring. He continued performing live locally, with an on and off residency at Toronto's venerable Cameron House. The weekly shows featured a revolving cast of local musicians, and often served as a showcase for the new material. It is where these songs first came to life.

Check out the title track from Starter Home below. You can pre-order a copy of Doug's Starter Home album from No Quarter right here – initial copies come with a bonus 7" of two otherwise unavailable tracks "Starter Home" (band version) b/w "Transient"
