  The album’s restraint in telling this horrific true story gives it enormous weight. Gord Downie tells the story of Chanie Wenjack with directness and care, avoiding sentimentality while still allowing grief to fully register. The sparse, shadowy arrangements leave space for the history behind the songs to resonate. It’s one of the most morally serious records of its decade.
