In Violet Light by The Tragically Hip
In Violet Light is an album by The Tragically Hip, released in 2002. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Silver Jet”, on 2 lists with a best position of #44.
In Violet Light, the eighth full-length from Kingston, Ontario's Tragically Hip, came out on June 11, 2002, with Hugh Padgham producing and the classic five-man lineup intact: Gord Downie singing, Paul Langlois and Rob Baker on guitars, Gord Sinclair on bass and Johnny Fay on drums. It's a warm, rolling rock record, Downie's poetic curveballs riding on grooves that sound like a band perfectly at ease in its own skin.
Canada snapped it up, sending it in at number two with almost 33,000 copies sold the first week and on to platinum. Copies came with a card for the Hip Club, an online fan club offering three bonus tracks. The video for "The Darkest One" played it for laughs with Don Cherry and the Trailer Park Boys, and "Throwing Off Glass" also landed on the Men with Brooms soundtrack.
