“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.

MORE ABOUT HANNAH GEORGAS
Hannah Georgas released her Aaron Dessner-produced LP All That Emotion in 2020 on Dessner's label Brassland, as well as Canadian indie stalwart Arts & Crafts. The album was nominated for Adult Alternative Album of the Year at the 2022 JUNO Awards, garnering Georgas her 5th nomination. Though long a favourite in Canada with a devoted international audience, the album was the most critically-acclaimed release of her career to date, earning a wave of positive attention from outlets like The Guardian, Pitchfork, NPR, Exclaim!, The New York Times, FADER, Stereogum, New York Magazine, Consequence of Sound and Paste among many others.

Since Georgas’ debut EP in 2009, the songwriter has evolved from a regionally based musician performing in smaller showcase stages, to a worldwide touring artist performing in legendary concert venues like Massey Hall in Toronto. She has headlined and performed on festival bills in all territories, and supported high profile acts such as Sara Bareilles, The National, City and Colour, Boy and Bear and more. Georgas spent much of 2019 touring as a part of The National's live band on their tours in support of their album I Am Easy To Find.

In addition to All that Emotion (2020), Georgas has released three full-length albums including This is Good (2010), Hannah Georgas (2012), and For Evelyn (2016) which enjoyed widespread acclaim including NOW Magazine (4/5), Exclaim! Magazine (8/10), Q Magazine (8/10), Boston Globe, NPR Music and more. Her 2019 effort Imprints is a beautifully recorded 4-song EP released in celebration of International Women’s Day, featuring a collection of covers including music by The Cranberries, Eurythmics, Janet Jackson and Tegan and Sara.

Hannah has won numerous awards while racking up multiple nominations including three Polaris Music Prize nominations and the aforementioned five JUNO nominations from “Best New Artist” to “Songwriter of the Year”. Her music has been featured in over 50 placements in Film/TV including: Degrassi: Next Class, Saving Hope, HBO’s Girls (End Credits), Catfish as well as a Walmart Commercial for “You’ve Got A Place Called Home”. More recently, the heartfelt single, “Lost Cause” from Georgas’ last album For Evelyn is featured in the Netflix dance comedy film Work It alongside mega-artists like Dua Lipa, Kenzie & Sia, Meghan Trainor, and Selena Gomez. The film is notably produced by Alicia Keys' A.K. Worldwide Productions.
