Description
Tracked with Bob Rock across a late run of sessions, Lustre Parfait catches Gordon Downie in full-throated, widescreen mode, all grit and glow. The title track snaps to life on a clipped snare pickup before the guitars bloom, a little rhythmic feint that sets up a huge, melodic lift. “The Raven and the Red-Tailed Hawk” rides a wind-in-your-jacket chorus, Downie sounding both weathered and fearless.
This 2LP pressing breathes; arrangements have room to unfurl and the low end sits deeper without smearing the vocals. You can feel the band push and pull in real space, the kind of dynamic punch Bob Rock fans will recognise. File it next to late-era Tragically Hip on your shelf, where the writing and the production talk to each other across time.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Gordon Downie records online with us.
Spin it at a small Melbourne gathering and it works as a proper album, not just a set of outtakes; the sequencing carries you from swagger to reflection without sag. “Lustre Parfait” is the entry point, but the quieter corners reward repeat plays, where handclaps, tambourine and small guitar moves reveal themselves late. A thoughtful, big-hearted rock record, finished with care and intention. Shop online or dig for it in our Preston store while stock lasts.
