“This Too Shall Pass” is the first single from an upcoming album from Hannah Georgas. A low-key indie-pop bop, its lo-fi guitar and drums evoke echoes of Soccer Mommy and Lucy Dacus’s barbed alt-rock, and while there’s a rough-hewn and deliberately unpolished atmosphere to the song’s energy, Georgas means every note she plays and every word she sings. “I have a lot of internal pep talks, as a way to quiet my own doubts and insecurities,” says Georgas. “This song is a reflection of that, and a reminder to go a little bit easier on myself.”
“This Too Shall Pass” arrives today alongside a music video shot in London, UK and directed by Joe Connor.
Where Hannah’s last record, 2020’s JUNO Award nominated All That Emotion, was produced alongside Aaron Dessner, Georgas’ next body of work finds her behind the glass. Joining her are partner Sean Sroka (Ten Kills The Pack) in a co-production capacity, keenly aided by James McAlister (Sufjan Stevens) on drums, Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck, METZ) on synth and bass, and multi-instrumentalist Gabe Wax (Soccer Mommy, War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Spoon).
Ultimately though, Georgas sought to grab hold of the reins herself, taking control of her own destiny. Recorded in Toronto with a treasure trove of analogue equipment and a work ethic that left no idea unturned, This Too Shall Pass signals a line in the sand, and the beginning of a new chapter.
Watch for further news of Hannah Georgas’ upcoming album soon.
