The Decades Apart Have Weathered Us Both is the third full-length album by Portland, OR duo Canadensis. It explores missing fragments of the soul, traumatically lost or discarded by ego as it morphs through time. What might have been if issues were worked through instead of shed? Even if reunited, would the two parts still reject each other? It’s been so long.

The Decades Apart Have Weathered Us Both was recorded live with no overdubs. This document is about as close as a studio recording can get to the raw and powerfully emotional live performances the duo are becoming known for. The opening track, The Shedding, is the beginning of this journey, clocking in just over 30 minutes. The first half of this track is a conflict of pensive brooding, weighing a fraction of the possible outcome, leading into the brutal shedding. It concludes as the two part ways, having only known being one. The final two tracks cope with this decision. There is a lightness, but it’s neither good nor bad. It just is…until time says otherwise.

The cover of the album is an interpretation by Portuguese artist CVSPE that depicts the lost fragmented ego waiting in a home that is being taken back by the land; keeping up with the ritual of keeping a beacon lit in the highest window, even though its light is lost to an ever present veil of fog.
