Destination Unknown (Ron Sexsmith album)

Destination Unknown is the ninth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, released in 2002 on Nonesuch Records. The album was produced by Mitchell Froom, known for his work with Elvis Costello and Suzanne Vega.

Destination Unknown marked a departure from Sexsmith's earlier, more acoustic-based sound. Froom incorporated more prominent keyboard arrangements, layered instrumentation, and experimental soundscapes into the production. This sonic shift was met with mixed reactions from longtime fans, some praising the album's ambition and others finding it less immediate than his previous work.

The album features songs that explore themes of uncertainty, longing, and the search for meaning. Lyrically, Sexsmith continues to display his characteristic wit and vulnerability. Notable tracks include "Secret Heart," "Least That I Can Do," and the title track, "Destination Unknown."

While Destination Unknown did not achieve widespread commercial success, it received generally positive reviews from critics. It is considered by many to be a significant and artistically ambitious work within Ron Sexsmith's discography.
