The Toronto multi-instrumentalist is gearing up to release a new full-length album titled <em>Mirrors and Ghosts<\/em>. Described as his most personal and introspective collection of songs yet, <em>Mirrors and Ghosts<\/em> &#8220;it&#8217;s an instrumental exploration that delves into the evocative musical landscapes which originally sparked his passion for music&#8221;. With his atmospheric guitar as the central voice, Drouillard masterfully handled all instruments on the album, combined with improvisation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Mirrors and Ghosts<\/em> will see the light of day on November 1st and ahead of it Drouillard is enticing us with lead single &#8216;Portland&#8217;, an immersive, engrossing and evocative song. &#8216;Portland&#8217; &#8220;reflects the memory of a drive through Portland Oregon\u2019s distinct neighborhoods and over its iconic bridges, reflecting the city&#8217;s mix of tranquility and tension&#8221;, as the press release describes. &#8220;Passing through a muted but chaotic sonic evolution, the song transitions to forests and foothills, conveying a serene departure from the urban environment with layered and overlapping Steve Reich\u2019esque guitars providing a sense of peace and contentment&#8221;. Drouillard has also made a video to accompany the single and you can check it out below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RbVINuiRKsI?si=g3ia7zG48SRNqYxi\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a reputation as a formidable guitarist in his native Canada, Dean Drouillard has been cutting his teeth as a sideman with artists and bands like Donovan Woods, Great Lake Swimmers, Rose Cousins, Joshua Van Tassel and Justin Rutledge for many years.
