About the record

The Hurry and the Harm arrived on June 4, 2013, and it's City and Colour's most direct record. Green cut it with producer Alex Newport at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, and the songs come in lean and bright, more road-worn rock than campfire folk.

The title track sets the tone: a song about wanting to be understood without having to explain yourself. From there the LP swings between the stomp of "Thirst" and "Commentators" and the slow ache of "Two Coins" and "Death's Song".

Dine Alone marked the album's tenth birthday with this deluxe pressing: four sides at 45 RPM in a die-cut gatefold, and a 7" of songs from the same era.
