Their partnership began in 2006 when Rock – known for his award-winning work with Metallica, Mötley Crüe, and Michael Bublé, to name but a few – produced The Tragically Hip’s acclaimed 10th studio album, World Container, followed in 2009 by the chart-topping We Are The Same. More than a decade in the making, Lustre Parfait sees Downie’s peerless lyricism and incendiary heart given newfangled energy by his longtime friend and collaborator, famed producer/musician Bob Rock. It causes you to look back, and I get choked up every time I hear it, still. The lyric was written before he was diagnosed with the sickness that he had. It’s special because of what he talks about. It’s absolute perfection in terms of songwriting and in terms of what he did. Somehow, I stumbled on this magic chord, a simple minor to a major progression, and it moved me. The music was based on that journey, this rising tide of chords, crescendos in the chorus. “ Setting a mood and going someplace, just taking you somewhere. “ I’ve always been a fan of long pieces of music,” says Bob Rock. An official visualizer is streaming now on YouTube. The Moment Is A Wild Place EP – featuring the seven-and-a-half minute title track along with five additional album cuts – is available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Arriving on Friday, May 5, 2LP, CD, and digital formats are available for pre-order now.
The epic ballad heralds the upcoming release of Lustre Parfait, the ninth album to bear Downie’s name outside of The Tragically Hip, and the first to bear Rock’s. Arts & Crafts is proud to announce today’s premiere of “The Moment Is A Wild Place,” the latest single from the long-fabled collaboration between Gord Downie, late frontman of legendary Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip, and GRAMMY® Award-winning producer/musician Bob Rock.
