"Hannah" Out Now! https://gert-taberner.ffm.to/agaytwmb
I spent a long time over the last few years feeling like writing songs was something I used to do. I'd been going through the motions for a long time and hadn't written a song in two years until a few months before my father died. That was when I started writing what would become this EP. I was writing more autobiographically than I was used to and taking stock of my life that way was highly cathartic on one hand, but also new and scary after so much time away from writing. Fast forward to today and I'm proud of what this collection of songs has become, a twenty-somethings' self-exploration on loss and what it can look like to be afraid of it, to live with it and be consumed by it, and lastly, to hopefully make peace with it.
With this record we've also decided to support the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia with our pre-save campaign. They are an organization that has been providing support of all kinds in the Downtown Eastside since the late 70s. This includes meals and basic necessities for over 1000 folks a day, as well as connecting them to all sorts of beneficial services including housing and skills development.
