  "The Clearing" is my first full-length full-band record, featuring 10 songs about things that I just needed to clear out of my system at the time.
  
  Originally released under "Crooked Forest", it's been reissued as a Jaimee Jakobczak solo album.
  
  This record was entirely self-recorded, written, played, and mixed by me in various stages over the last two years.
  
  The digital album comes with 4 bonus tracks including the "Wasted Time" and "Blister" full-band recordings and two previously unreleased acoustic recordings.
  
  Given the nature of what inspired the record and the stories the songs tell, I wanted to release this on March 13th, 2022, marking 2-years sober from alcohol. I can't say with certainty that this record would've never been made if I hadn't made that decision on that day and, somehow, through the pandemic, a divorce, and multiple minor life crisis' like abruptly quitting my job, managing to stick to it, but as someone that starting writing and playing music very young without ever realizing this dream, I have a hard time believing otherwise. I very much credit that effort as the sole reason for being able to be here today and share this with you.
  
  There is a track by track breakdown of this record available only on crookedforest.ca here starting with Champagne Birthday: https://crookedforest.ca/2022/03/14/the-clearing-track-by-track-champagne-birthday/
  
  Thanks very much for your support & I hope you like it, but it's okay if you don't, too. ... more
