Description
Cut at The Bathouse Studio in July 2017, Away Is Mine is Gordon Downie’s final studio statement, presented in twin Electric and Acoustic sequences that feel complementary rather than redundant. You hear him lean into fragility and grit; on Hotel Worth there’s a tiny catch of breath before the refrain that says as much as any lyric. The band keeps it unadorned, giving his phrasing room to drift and bite.
This 2LP 45RPM pressing opens the music up. Space between instruments feels tangible, imaging snaps into focus, and cymbals decay cleanly without haze. The low end sits deeper too, which helps the Electric side’s guitars carry weight without crowding the vocal.
In the shop here in Melbourne we shelve it near late-career Leonard Cohen, not because it sounds the same, but for the way both records stare down the horizon with clear eyes. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Gordon Downie records online with us. Packaging is thoughtful, and the acoustic half isn’t an afterthought; it’s a parallel reading that softens the edges while keeping the intent.
For fans of honest, unforced performances and a document that values presence over polish, this pressing does right by Downie’s voice and the songs’ quiet power.
Perfect for anyone building a record collection, buy online or in store today.
