Jonah Yano's Portrait of a Dog, released in 2023 on Innovative Leisure, marks a deeply personal chapter in the Montreal-based artist's career. Produced entirely by Toronto's celebrated BADBADNOTGOOD, the album draws on Yano's reflections on his parents' separation and his experience immigrating from Hiroshima to Vancouver at a young age, resulting in a sound that is both meditative and inviting.
Refining the sprawling ambition of his debut, Portrait of a Dog weaves Yano's melancholy lyrics and tranquil guitar playing into a warm, jazz-and-soul-tinged atmosphere, with guest appearances from Slauson Malone, Sea Oleena, and Leland Whitty adding further depth. Recorded in Toronto, mixed across Detroit and Vancouver, and mastered in Toronto, this is a beautifully crafted album that resonates with anyone drawn to intimate, emotionally honest songwriting.
