Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip who is battling terminal brain cancer, has announced Introduce Yerself, a double-album of twenty-three new songs. The music was recorded swiftly over two four-day sessions in January 2016 and February 2017, with the final album often reflecting first takes.
Introduce Yerself continues the collaborative relationship that last year brought the music of Downie’s historic Secret Path to life, with Drew producing the album and co-writing a number of the new songs.
Video directors Jennifer Baichwal and Nicolas de Pencier have put together a short video clip below.
Introduce Yerself will be available for preorder as of Friday, September 29 in Double Vinyl, CD & Download formats via Arts & Crafts and Gord Downie.
