Background

edit

Hildebrand centered the album around loss.[1] His younger brother died in 2008,[2] and the album is dedicated to Caitlin Amanda Morris, who died in 2010.[3]

The album was recorded between 2011 and 2014 across New York, Toronto, London, and Portland.[3]

Critical reception

edit

Pitchfork gave the album 6.3/10, with reviewer Ian Cohen writing, "Ontario Gothic is certainly part of a great story; but as a perfectly satisfying half hour of modest and common dream-pop, it's not much of a story on its own".[4]
