Artwork by Clare and Willo Downie. Away Is Mine is Gord Downie's final solo recording, recorded at The Tragically Hip's studio in Bath, Ontario, in July 2017. A questing and idiosyncratic work steered to life by Inchmy oldest Toronto friend,Inch guitarist and co-writer Josh Finlayson, the last ten songs Gord wrote hold fast to his unwavering artistic spirit, deft hand with words and forever inscrutable sense of humour as he locks eyes head-on with the Great Inevitability. Away Is Mine highlights Gord's poetic mastery with vibrant yet haunting production by Nyles Spencer that casts each song in different otherworldly light. Like all of the music and poetry and the memories and the genius that Gord gifted us during his 53 years on our planet, it is immortal - and yet it took a fearless reckoning with his own mortality to get us here.

One let's oneself slip into InchMolloInch like a body on the surface of the water. It starts with a cool feeling in your feet, then it tickles your whole body until your brain capsizes. InchMolloInch swallows you whole. Funny journey.We follow the flow. Sometimes soaring, the body stretches and levitates on the riffs of guitar or keyboard hallucinated. Sometimes bubbling, the body is agitated in a trance with the frenetic sound of the sax and the drums. Sometimes, the swirls are there which announce the explosive fall in a burst of electronic sound. A few hundred meterslower, we catch our breath. Nobody will come out unscathed.They are 5 adventurers that these musicians.To the call of Raphael Illes in 2018, they all answered present. Not to climb a wall of the Cevennes or surf Californian waves, these 5 having the taste of aerial or aquatic experiences in imbalance.But to create Wax, a group of experienced and daring musicians, spinning on the crest of a jazz both acoustic and electro, without ever being afraid of the void. Their melodic motifs interlock and take us into a trance, like an intoxication of altitude.
