Rāmere/ Friday, 25 Hui Tanguru/February, 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 is the first number one album for Aotearoa’s songwriter-storyteller, Don McGlashan. And he is excited. “I’m thrilled and somewhat overwhelmed that the album went straight in to the NZ charts at No. 1 this week.  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 till now.

"Huge thanks to all of you for listening, being supportive, and being part of the team.” - Don McGlashan

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.

Due to the pandemic, McGlashan’s tour timed just after album release has been cancelled and is now being re-booked for late 2022. New dates and venues to be announced in the coming weeks - keep up to date at donmcglashan.com
