TORONTO — Gord Downie is releasing a new solo album of 23 original songs produced with long-time collaborator Kevin Drew.
Introduce Yerself is slated for release Oct. 27 with each song written about a specific person.
His website says the tracks were recorded during two four-day studio sessions in January 2016 and February 2017.
Many of the songs came together in a single take.
This marks the second album by the Tragically Hip frontman since going public with his terminal brain cancer diagnosis.
Last October, he released Secret Path — an album, graphic novel and film based on the story of Chanie Wenjack, a young Ojibwe boy who died while trying to escape a residential school.
