Lush & sprawling Coke Machine Glow is Gord Downie's debut 2001 solo album. Featuring the singles 'Chancellor' and 'Vancouver Divorce' the album's backing band was credited as 'the Goddamned Band' with contributions from musicians Julie Doiron, Steven Drake (The Odds), Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies), Josh Finlayson, director Atom Egoyan & members of The Dinner Is Ruined. Coke Machine Glow highlights Downie's singular poetic story-weaving over sparse, loose production & subdued instrumentation.
