Today, we’re exploring the work of Jordan Klassen, the Vancouver-based singer-songwriter and producer whose poetic “fairy folk” has been captivating listeners for well over a decade. Jordan’s latest project, Marginalia (2023), is a deeply introspective and elegant complement to its predecessor, Glossolalia. These two albums, born from the same creative period, reflect two sides of a coin: the stripped-down vulnerability of one and the fuller, more textured exploration of the other.

In this episode, we’ll go through some of the margins of the album, discovering the metaphors, and themes that shape Marginalia while playing through the album from top to bottom.
