The Tragically Hip will release their first studio album in 3 years, Now for Plan A. Produced by Gavin Brown (Metric, Boys Like Girls, Three Days Grace) and featuring guest vocals by Sarah Harmer, the album offers all new music written by the band and set to the poetic and thought-provoking lyrics of lead singer, Gord Downie.

The rocking opening track “At Transformation” describes one person’s resolution to be a positive force in a negative world, “I want to be kind not a bullet in the right place.” “About This Map” is inspirational, showing that life doesn’t always go according to plan while the slow groove of “Done and Done” chronicles the bitter end of a relationship.

Watch the video for “At Transformation” here and check out another song from the new album, “Streets Ahead,” here.

Now for Plan A is the thirteenth studio album from the Kingston, Ontario quintet. An extensive U.S. tour is planned and will be announced soon.
