Description
Saturday tidy, windows open, this spins easy and keeps you company. Gordon Downie’s Battle Of The Nudes finds the Hip frontman in an intimate, witty mode, with a small band circling his voice and letting the words land. You get that conversational snarl and some warm-jangled guitars, while the rhythm section keeps a playful pocket. Who By Rote turns on a tumbling drum fill before the chorus, a small lurch that hooks you twice.
The LP pressing gives the songs room; low end sits deeper and imaging is tidier, so the group chatter around his voice feels like a circle in your lounge. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Gordon Downie records online with us. It belongs next to late-period The Tragically Hip and the early 2000s Canadian indie era for its scrappy, humane swing. In a Melbourne living room, it suits quiet nights as much as a small gathering that wants lyrics to chew on.
Personal favourite moment is the way a guitar figure will answer his phrasing, almost like a second narrator, turning rough sketches into lived-in songs. Come for the writing, stay for the band’s nimble turns and the way these tunes breathe on a proper system. Perfect for anyone building a record collection, buy online or in store today.
