More than a decade in the making,Lustre Parfaitis the long-mythologized collaboration of rock n' roll giants. Gord Downie, the iconic frontman of The Tragically Hip, and legendary producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi, Motley Crüe, Michael Bublé) combine on a fourteen-song double-album with the newfangled energy of two restless talents in lockstep. Recorded between 2009 and 2016, Rock's Grammy Award-winning flair lights up Downie's peerless lyricism and incendiary heart. In contrast to the raw intimacy of Downie's posthumous solo releases – 2017's letter-to-loved-onesIntroduce Yerself, and 2020's ghostly goodbyeAway Is Mine–Lustre Parfaitis unabashedly infectious, a gift of unbridled expression from one of Canada's most cherished voices, belting out pristine lyrics from in-the-pocket of a gleaming rock band, relentless, and charged with the unifying forces of poetry and power.

The usual boom-and-bust cycles of growing up -- breaking down, gathering the strength to get up, fumbling hard, doing it all over again - can feel unmooring, to say the least, but, and according to DEBBY FRIDAY, its tragedies and glories need savoring. Losing illusions, gaining expectations; getting deep into the private, soupy kaleidoscope of what’s possible and what’s futile --GOOD LUCK, her debut, and supernovic, full-length album, is built on welcoming the journey’s complicated drops and mountain highs with something more like grace.
