Slow Leaves is the solo project of Winnipeg-based songwriter and producer Grant Davidson, whose work blends folk and psych-rock with an understated emotional precision that has built a loyal international following. Across releases with Birthday Cake Records, Slow Leaves has accumulated over 3.5 million streams, with consistent radio support in Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands, alongside touring across Canada, the UK, and Europe. The Ruins of Things Unfinished is Davidson's sixth full-length album of new material and his most immediate recording to date. Tracked largely live off the floor with producer Kris Ulrich, the album captures the intimacy and emotional weight of Slow Leaves' songwriting with a new sense of presence and warmth. The record explores inherited trauma, ambition, parenthood, and the quiet work of self-reckoning, drawing it's title from Fernando Pessoa's line, "I am composed of the ruins of things unfinished." The campaign launches with singles beginning February 2026, supported by a professionally filmed live session produced by Fairy Ring (Eric Roberts) at Oolytone Studio. Birthday Cake Records is leading the Canadian campaign in-house, supported by Vitriol Radio (North America) and Make My Day Records (GSA/Benelux), with a focus on long-tail streaming growth, radio, and export momentum in the US, UK, and Europe.
