On Jordan Klassen’s sophomore album Javelin, the Vancouver-based songwriter dissects his struggles, embraces his demons, digs up old ghosts, and comes out with his hands clean on the other end.

Klassen’s keen sense of mood and atmosphere date back to his youth. “I wanted to give a nod to a genre often overlooked but that shaped me thoroughly as a kid — ’80s/’90s new age music — most emphatically Enya. I think I’ve always utilized a sense of etherealism in my songs and I wanted to engage with it all the way.”
