Lonesome Waterloo (1974–75 Sessions, Vol. 1)
The first release from the mid‑70s archive.
In 1970, Oliver Klaus built a small DIY recording studio in Waterloo, Québec — the same room where the band recorded their first album that same year. Four years later, in 1974 and 1975, we returned to that studio for a new and more ambitious series of sessions. Working with the same analog gear and the same independent spirit, we recorded a body of material that expanded our sound into rock and pop‑rock, with the occasional folk‑tinged moment.
These recordings were never released at the time. The tapes sat boxed away for decades, quietly aging in storage while the sessions themselves faded from memory. But the performances — warm, live‑off‑the‑floor, and unmistakably Oliver Klaus — remained intact.
Lonesome Waterloo— a 9 song album — is the first release drawn from those 1974–75 sessions. Restored from the original tapes, it offers the first glimpse into a creative period that will continue with a second volume still to come.
This 2026 release marks the debut of these recordings, more than fifty years later.
— Maurice Singfield, founding member of Oliver Klaus
