On Bells Larsen's stunning new album, Blurring Time, the Canadian singer-songwriter has an unlikely collaborator — himself. Larsen is a trans man and he first recorded the album in his pre-transition voice with the intent of revisiting the songs after he started hormone therapy. The result is a unique self-collaboration, in which he harmonizes with himself. Larsen sits down with Tom Power to talk about the new album and having to cancel his U.S. tour.
