Don’s latest album, Bright November Morning quickly sold out completely after its 2022 release. A fancy vinyl reissue in translucent red and cassette has just landed in stores so best not to dilly dally this time round. A limited quantity will be available at shows.

As McGlashan’s fourth solo album and first #1 record, Bright November Morning 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 album was recorded in Lyttelton, Auckland and Vancouver, and is full of inspired playing from Shayne P Carter (Straitjacket Fits, Dimmer), Chris O’Connor (SJD, The Phoenix Foundation) and James Duncan (SJD, Dimmer).
