Passages is the eighth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Rutledge, released on May 31, 2019. [1]

[1] The album features a songwriting collaboration with novelist Michael Ondaatje, with whom he first collaborated on his 2010 album The Early Widows , on the song "Boats", [1] and includes guitar contributions by former Tragically Hip guitarist Rob Baker.
