Preloved - Willow Preloved

Much of Willow was recorded in solitude during camping trips across Ontario Provincial Parks, with Watson powering their setup using a borrowed portable battery. These environments seep into the recordings themselves – cicadas, wind, and ambient textures subtly woven into the album’s sonic fabric, grounding its emotional weight in a tangible sense of place. The album is almost entirely self-made: Watson wrote, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered the project. Longtime creative partner Hannah Judge of fanclubwallet contributes co-writing and vocals on select tracks, including "Motorcycle," reinforcing the collaborative but deeply personal spirit at the heart of Willow.
