Hawksley Workman - Median Age Wasteland (2019) Hi Res

Eleven tracks in length, the album was produced by Dears frontman Murray Lightburn. Workman wrote and recorded Median Age Wasteland after making a move to Montreal from rural Ontario. The body of work is said to have "no lipstick, literal or figurative – just the purity of loving, loathing, and living."

"I've always had this constant hunger to innovate, reevaluate what I do, and keep remaking it to confuse myself and maybe confuse my audience," Workman said in a statement. "This time, I'm just committing to writing focused and honest songs, which feels like the most interesting thing I can do right now."

"This album is beautifully sentimental," Workman added. "I have a unique perspective on the world that comes from the person I think I am and the person I actually am, and I wanted to explore the latter. There's a lot of looking back at being a kid and more innocent times."
