About the album

Daniel Lanois grew up in Hull, Quebec and Hamilton, Ontario, started out recording bands in his mother's basement, and went on to produce some of the most atmospheric records ever made for U2, Peter Gabriel, Emmylou Harris and Neil Young. Under his own name he's always been happiest making music that floats, and Belladonna Nocturne picks up the thread of his 2005 instrumental album Belladonna: pedal steel that hums like a distant train, warm piano, and plenty of space.

The titles map the journey, from "Cap Nègre" and "Inside The Walls Of Puebla" to "Snow Lake" and "Canadian National", and the second side settles into night music with "Advent", "Temple Drums" and "Early Days". It's a record for late drives and quiet rooms. Few people make the sound of a pedal steel feel like the weather; Lanois has been doing it for forty years and we're still not tired of it.
