Glassreel brings their penchant for vocal interplay, cathartic arrangements and unforgettable melodies to a new level on Lustre. These eight tracks represent an artistic step forward for the band, as they present a fresh and diverse range of material. With nowhere to go and no shows to play, the concept grew and grew, as did the sound palette. Mike Beaton had a gigantic part in the sound of this record, and he pushed Glassreel to dig deep both performance-wise and concept-wise. The primary producer on this record is Mike Beaton (no relation to Kelly Beaton), though Trevor Graumann and Kelly Beaton also had a lot of involvement in the production. The fact that this writing coincides with the pandemic may help to explain the existential dread mentioned above. Most of this album was written in 2020, with some songs being completed in 2021. “Last Good Advice” is about saying goodbye to somebody before their time, which adds to this theme of existential questioning. “Bigger Than You” and “Fix Is In” are both about walking away from destructive relationships. The idea of overcoming or even walking away from struggle is also a predominant theme. Connected to that is the idea of finding your place in the world, grappling with the forces of apathy and self-consciousness in order to get to your better self. The band also took great pains to give the music a shimmering, enlivening quality.Įxistential dread is a theme for this album (the word “dread” appears in two different songs). The title Lustre stems from the reflective and introspective nature of the album’s material. The album was mastered by Grammy nominated engineer Philip Shaw Bova (Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, Andy Shauf) at Phil's Lab in Ottawa. The final English version of "How Great Thou Art" was published in 1949 and quickly spread among Britian, Africa, India and America.Glassreel recorded Lustre in two Winnipeg studios: Argyle Studio in Aug 2021 (recorded by Cam Loeppky), with everything else being done at Private Ear Recording (by Mike Beaton) just after the holidays in Dec 2021. The forth verse of "How Great Thou Art" was inspired by displaced Russians who experienced great loss and looked forward to seeing their loved ones again in heaven - "When Christ shall come with shoult of acclamation to take me home, what joy shall fill my heart." Stuart Hine and his family left Ukraine as famine and World War Two began, and settled in Somerset, Britain where he continued to serve as a missionary to Polish refugees. The third verse was inspired by the conversion of villagers in Russia who cried out to God loudly as the repented and realized God's love and mercy - "And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in." Hine began to translation the song to English and added several verses. Hine was a Bristish Methodist missionary on a mission trip in Ukraine in 1931 when he heard the Russian translation of a German song inspired by Carl Boberg's poem "O Store Gud" (O Great God). When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,Īnd take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.Īnd then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!" That on a Cross, my burdens gladly bearing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeurĪnd see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.Īnd when I think, that God, His Son not sparing When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,Īnd hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made ![]()
