And the Conquering Sun is a collaborative album by Gord Downie and The Sadies, released on Arts & Crafts Productions in 2014.[1]
The album began when The Sadies were invited to perform on the CBC Radio concert series Fuse; the series centred on collaborative concerts between multiple artists, and the Sadies selected Downie as they had just completed opening for The Tragically Hip on that band's World Container tour.[2] The set list they performed on that broadcast comprised covers of artists such as Roky Erickson, Johnny Cash and Iggy and the Stooges.[3] Downie and the Sadies subsequently continued to occasionally write songs together, eventually deciding to release their original material as an album.[4]
Downie and the Sadies supported the album with a concert tour,[5] with performances from the tour compiled for the 2026 live album Live at 6 O'Clock.[6]
