“Bus Baby” by Devarrow

Graham Ereaux AKA: Devarrow releases his new album, Heart Shaped Rock on October 4th via Paper Bag Records (Art D’ecco, Nap Eyes), ahead of the LP’s arrival, the Canadian indie folk artist has shared a video for “Bus Baby.”

The track is described as a window into Devarrow’s unusual world. Born from an inside joke between himself and his partner that he’s having an affair with his converted school bus, “Bus Baby” celebrates the artist’s infatuation with his four-wheeled muse, now transformed into a mobile studio. For the first time, he introduces a drum machine, a nod to the song’s solitary conception. ‘Bus Baby’ isn’t just a love song; it’s a rolling testament to finding joy in the mundane and music in the everyday. As the final teaser before Heart Shaped Rock drops, it promises an album that’s a must-listen for fans of folk.

“It’s also the only song on the record to use a drum machine – a choice that comes from the fact that I was writing the song alone, and needed a steady beat to accompany me as I worked out the parts of the song.” he says of the song’s conception “Instead of fully replacing the programmed drums with Evan’s real ones, I decided to leave in the drum machine as a reminder of the song’s origins. Another fun fact is that the bells you hear in the bridge are in fact me holding my two kittens up to the mic, and shaking their little collars”

Ereaux wears many hats: songwriter, producer, carpenter, surfer, and nature enthusiast. Nestled in a quaint coastal town in rural Canada, his life and surroundings heavily influence his music. Self-described as “Carpenter-surf-folk-pop best listened to while driving down quiet rural roads or out to the beach.” His lyrics, inspired by routine and literature, blend heartfelt introspection with catchy melodies, providing a fresh lens on small-town Canadian life.
