In contrast to the raw intimacy of Downie's posthumous solo releases – 2017's letter-to-loved-ones Introduce Yerself, and 2020's ghostly goodbye Away Is Mine – Lustre Parfait is 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. Recorded between 20, Rock's Grammy Award-winning flair lights up Downie's peerless lyricism and incendiary heart.
