Best known as the drummer and producer of Canadian indie band fanclubwallet – and a sought-after producer in Ottawa’s local scene – Watson has quietly spent the past three years crafting Willow, a deeply personal and self-contained body of work. “Motorcycle” introduces the album with a stripped-down, sub-two-minute acoustic lo-fi vignette, capturing a sense of yearning, independence, and youthful imagination.
