Gord Downie’s Coke Machine Glow was released in 2001, in between Music Work (2000) and In Violet Light (2002), the ninth and tenth albums by his mighty band of brothers in The Tragically Hip. Like music that dances from glowing apartments. With just the sparse backing of acoustic guitars, minimal drums and some pianos here and there, Gord Downie took the ticking time he had left in this world to.
