“Everything Unfolding” almost didn’t happen. After years of work and plans to tour his previous album, the infectious but highly overlooked City of our Lives, were wiped out by lockdowns, Katz considered walking away from music altogether. His speaking career was thriving; the need to create music felt distant. Then came a call from Grammy Award–winning producer Rich Jacques, who told him simply: “You’re an artist. You always will be.” What followed were a series of writing retreats between Katz’s cottage near Kingston, Ontario, and Jacques’s studio in Ojai, California. “We didn’t plan to make an album,” Katz says. “We just allowed one to emerge.” The resulting record, introspective yet cinematic, charts a return to purpose and presence.
Each vinyl pressing, made in Canada from recycled scraps of other records, is unique. Creating one-of-a-kind patterns of colour and a physical reflection of the album’s theme of transformation.
