Patrick Watson is not just a man—they are a
band. Forming as part of an art project, they didn't anticipate they'd need a name to encapsulate their moody, eccentic sound. Layered underneath singer Patrick Watson's wavering falsetto are everything from saws, accoutic guitars, horns, mandolin, as well as surprising percussive "instruments"—including a bicycle! The band released its third album,
Adventures in Your Own Backyard this past spring, just ahead of an appearance at SXSW, where
Rolling Stone called them a "can't-miss-act."
