Led by songwriter Tony Dekker, Great Lake Swimmers have spent the past twenty-odd years crafting music that feels at once deeply rooted and free-floating — tethered to land and language, yet always reaching for something beyond. Recently, the celebrated band shared “One More Dance Around The Sun”, their first new single since 2023’s Uncertain Country. Today, they’re sharing another new track, “Wrong, Wrong, Wrong”, a song “about being on the edge, in deep despair,” says Dekker. “The consolation is that it places trust in the understanding of the listener – it’s almost as if the song is speaking directly to a sympathetic friend. Although the music and instrumentation deceptively suggest a sunnier attitude, the lyrical gist is about trying to make sense of a deeply troubled world."

Both new singles were recorded at Ganaraska Recording Company, a converted century-old farmhouse near Port Hope, Ontario, bringing together a trusted ensemble of Canadian folk collaborators. Dekker’s hushed, clear voice sits at the center of a warmly textured arrangement shaped by producer and bassist Darcy Yates and engineer and pedal steel guitarist Jimmy Bowskill. Colleen Brown’s Joni Mitchell–esque backing vocals lend harmonies that are both airy and soulful. The result is a golden-hued, analog-soaked track that feels lived-in, effortless, and casually luminous — a song that seems to have been with you all along, even on first listen.
