• Vancouver-based Myk Gordon's new album, The Future Is Now, co-produced by eight-time Grammy Award winner Steve Berlin, of Los Lobos, explores the complexities of mid-life, the perilous state of democracy, and the planet's ecological challenges. Sonically, it's a compelling blend of alternative rock energy and pop sensibilities; lyrically, it moves from introspective moments contemplating personal purpose, to powerful anthems addressing global concerns. Gordon has drawn comparisons to the likes of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, and Bruce Springsteen, and The Future Is Now has garnered rave reviews for its "rootsy goodness," and as a "country-soul tour de force." The single “Dare” has been described as both a big, bouncy pop-rock song, and a cinematic suggestion to take another shot at life.
