Gord Downie’s New Video Revealed Ahead Of Upcoming Album

0

In the lead up to the release of Gord Downie’s new double album, Introduce Yerself, Arts & Crafts has shared a video that documents the creation of the album’s closing song, “The North,” courtesy of directors Jennifer Baichwal and Nicolas de Pencier. The video is an intimate look at Downie in studio during the album’s recording with producer Kevin Drew, Dave Hamelin, and engineer Nyles Spencer at The Bathouse studio in Bath, Ontario.

“A lot of these I wrote the words in advance,” Downie said at the time of recording. “Like poems. I’d get one or two a day and then I’d have to stop. Because that’s about all… the soul or whatever, would give up. And then, so with music, it becomes pretty easy.”

The twenty-three songs of Introduce Yerself were recorded swiftly over two four-day sessions in January 2016 and February 2017, with the finished album often reflecting first takes. The album continues the collaborative relationship that last year brought the music of Downie’s historic Secret Path to life, with Drew producing and co-writing a number of songs.

Introduce Yerself will be released on CD and digital tomorrow, October 27

Randy Newman: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Randy Newman’s new album, Dark Matter, is his first batch of songs in nine years and there’s more than the usual biting Newman wit; there’s also a tender heart. And watching the 73-year-old songwriter amble to the Tiny Desk and singing these words, had me crying for sentiment so full of heart:

“I’m not much to talk to, and I know how I look / What I know ’bout life comes out of a book / But of all of the people there are in the world / She chose me.”

Watch this grand master play.
