Gord Downie’s final solo album set for October release

A collection of 10 songs recorded by Gord Downie in July of 2017 are set to be released as a new double album, Away Is Mine, on October 16 via Arts & Crafts.

The new songs will be presented in both acoustic and electric versions, and they are the final songs Downie recorded before he passed away in October of 2017. A pair of fresh tracks have been released to coincide with the announcement today, listen to “Hotel Worth” and “Useless Nights” below.

“This won’t be his last release, but these are the final ten songs Gord sang before he passed away,” Downie’s brother Patrick Downie wrote in a release. “The last time he ever sang into a mic. That’s pretty special to us.”
