"Tournament Of Hearts" turns up on Reunion Tour, the fourth album from the Weakerthans, which came out in Canada and the US in September 2007. John K. Samson wrote the words, and the music is split four ways between Samson, guitarist Stephen Carroll, Greg Smith and Jason Tait.
Ian Blurton, back in the producer's chair after Left and Leaving and Reconstruction Site, called the record the most experimental thing the band had tried, and Carroll talked up its ambient stretches, tape loops and extra keyboards. Before any of it reached the shops, the band was drumming up interest with mock webisodes about the sessions, posted on Epitaph's website.
