Canadian singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Leif Vollebekk is a philosophy student turned troubadour who marries Carl Jung’s I Ching musings and Wittgenstein’s love of language with his own lyrical poetry on the aptly named Revelation, a product of the introspection brought on by the lockdown. The 11 tracks, including a pair of orchestrated, cinematic set pieces, evoke the narrative skills of fellow countrymen Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot, the crystalline sound of The Eagles, anchored by the rich intimacy of Nick Drake. The completed work, organic, earthy and homemade, weaves themes of nature -- water, astral constellations, mortality – into a meditation on living in an ever-changing present laced with existential doubt, the search for a higher power.
