Dallas Green joins Indie88 host Lana Gay in studio to go track-by-track through his new record The Love Still Held Me Near. The album is out today, March 31, 2023, via Still Records, an imprint of Dine Alone Records. The Love Still Held Me Near marks Green’s seventh album under the City and Colour moniker. The album was co-produced with longtime collaborator Matt Kelly, and chronicles an exceptionally difficult time in Green’s life following the tragic death of his best friend and City and Colour producer Karl Bareham in 2019.

“The Love Still Held Me Near was born out of unimaginable loss and the subsequent journey through the grief and heartache that followed,” Green said in a press release. “It’s about digging deep down into yourself and attempting to unearth hope and light in the things that can comfort you through those times. For me that has always been writing and recording music, so that’s exactly what I did.”

Indie88 will be playing the new album in its entirety along with Lana’s track-by-track interview with Dallas Green on Friday, March 31 at 8pm, and again on Sunday, April 2 at 6pm. Tune in at www.indie88.com, or on 88.1 FM in Toronto to listen.

This interview was recorded on March 23, 2023 at Indie88 in Toronto.
