Downie’s seventh solo album will serve as a follow-up to Introduce Yerself which was released 10-days after his death from glioblastoma, an incurable and rare form of brain cancer on October 17, 2017. Away is Mine will mark Gord’s second posthumous release.

The double album was recorded in July of 2017 at the Tragically Hip’s Bathhouse Studio in Bath, ON. Downie finished up work on the project just three months prior to his passing.

Away is Mine will see contributions from Dave Koster, Josh Finlayson, Travis Good of The Sadies, and Downie’s son, Louis.

(2/2) The album art is handpainted by Gord’s daughters, Willo Downie and Clare Downie, & includes Gord’s handwritten lyrics in the Vinyl & CD Packaging. Stay tuned here for more announcements to come!
