Don McGlashan released his new album, Bright November Morning, following the release of three singles; ‘Now’s The Place’, ‘Go Back In’ and ‘All The Goodbyes In The World’. The glowing reviews and accolades have been rolling in and the audience have spoken by buying up large with sales pushing Don McGlashan’s album to Number 1 on the New Zealand Recorded Music Album Charts.
Surprisingly, this was the first number one album for Aotearoa’s songwriter-storyteller, Don McGlashan. And he was thrilled. “I’m somewhat overwhelmed that the album went straight into the NZ charts at No. 1…. That’s a first for me. I’ve had, I think, 5 top-5 albums over the course of a 40 year career in various collaborations and solo, but never the top spot ‘til now. Huge thanks to all of you for listening, being supportive, and being part of the team.” – Don McGlashan
“It’s a marvel…Being able to articulate the complex relationship between people and place, fear and beauty, freedom and risk, memory and hope in a few deft lines over a freshly minted melody – that is really something. A sort of magic, really…” – Grant Smithies, Your Weekend / Stuff
“perfect blend of passion, emotion and sheer gloriousness” – James Belfield, Waiheke Weekender
“Don McGlashan finally gets his Bright November Morning, but a few months later than planned. Fortunately, good things are worth waiting for….one can’t help but feel both comforted and uneasy in equal measure…And, that sums up this record (which should be listened to in its entirety) in a nutshell” – Marty Duda – 13th Floor
“features all the hallmarks of Classic Don: insightful storytelling, contemplation, and melody up the wazoo…As predicted, it’s an instant classic… someone get this man a knighthood!” – Flying Out
“A full feast of tunes from one of our finest musical storytellers” – Chris Cudby – undertheradar
“Bright November Morning is a stunning paean to everyday life, beautifully arranged, and beautifully played by The Others” – muzic.net.nz
Bright November Morning, is McGlashan’s fourth solo album, and is an essential addition to his remarkable output. It has all the glittering McGlashan touches in place: from the detail-perfect narratives of local life (the neighbours looking in when we take the curtains down, swimming and seeing Russian container ships on the horizon) to the strummy melodicism with detours into something noisier, and on to those welcome and welcoming choruses.
The new album was recorded in Lyttelton, Auckland and Vancouver, and full of inspired playing from Shayne P Carter (Straitjacket Fits, Dimmer), Chris O’Connor (SJD, Phoenix Foundation) and James Duncan (SJD, Dimmer), Bright November Morning marks a new stage in Don McGlashan’s generous and humane songbook.
