Description
Cut with Kevin Drew in focused late-night sessions, Introduce Yerself finds Gordon Downie speaking plainly and tenderly, song by song, to the people who shaped him. You hear the small intake of breath before the piano falls on the title track, a human pause that says more than a chorus could. Arranged with lots of air, these pieces reward the 2LP treatment, where the space opens up and imaging feels steadier at low volume. The gatefold gives the artwork and credits room to breathe, which suits the diaristic feel.
File it next to The Tragically Hip’s late-era records, where reflection sits comfortably with melody, but this one stays closer to the whisper. Made for quiet rooms and late drives, not because it is dour, but because the details deserve attention. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Gordon Downie records online with us. Fans who want to live with the writing will appreciate how the sides naturally group the songs into short letters.
We keep coming back to the way his phrasing leans into a word then lets it go, like conversation held just past midnight. The whole thing feels personal without being precious, and it keeps giving on repeat.
Order today, available online or for pickup in our Melbourne store.
