Combining elements of rock and folk music, along with personal sentiments and a voice that is able to channel both the falsetto highs of Neil Young and the wavering raspy low tones of Leonard Cohen, Toronto's Hayden Desser has spent most of the last decade creating uniquely affecting music. The critically acclaimed musician first appeared in the early '90s, armed with only a four-track tape recorder like his heroes in Sebadoh and Pavement. Coupling his unnaturally low range with an extremely detuned guitar, Hayden recorded his self-released cassette, In September, in 1994, and much of the material included evolved into his first official LP, 1995's Everything I Long For.
