Hannah Georgas is delighted to share a new single, “Home”, alongside three in-stores around her UK live dates later this year, before supporting Broken Social Scene across the USA. “Home” is a cacophony of warm indie-guitars and propulsive drums that echoes the comfort and emotion of its title. A burst of melody that never relents, its ebullience is at odds with its lyrical sentiment. ‘Home, I think that you lost me. Home, where’d you go?’ Hannah questions.
Hannah Georgas on “Home”: "I feel like the word home is really emotionally loaded and can mean so many different things to different people. This song is about dealing with feelings of being lost and unsettled, and comparing that to others who seem to have it figured out. It’s about a feeling of estrangement and exclusion, only made even more polarising when you’re confronted with the opposite experience amongst your peers or in the media."

Hannah has also shared more Canadian tour dates to accompany her already announced central Canadian performances in November including stops in Ottawa, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria and Vancouver. Tickets are on sale now HERE and all dates are listed below.
Where Hannah’s last record, 2020’s All That Emotion, was produced alongside Aaron Dessner, her next album finds Georgas behind the glass. Joining her is partner Sean Sroka (of Ten Kills The Pack) in a co-production capacity. Other musicians that contributed along the way include James McAlister on drums (one of Sufjan Steven’s regular confidantes), Graham Walsh (whose synth and bass regularly peppers records by the likes of Holy Fuck and Metz), and Gabe Wax (Soccer Mommy’s go-to collaborator, but has also worked with War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, and Spoon) who contributed his drum programming skills.

Ultimately though, the Canadian sought to take the reins herself, taking back control of her own destiny, and cutting out too much outside influence. Recorded in Toronto with a treasure trove of analogue equipment and a work ethic that left no idea unturned, I’d Be Lying If I Said I Didn’t Care is a wonderful record by a songwriter at the real peak of her powers.
Hannah on her new album: “This record is a big step for me from a creative standpoint and it feels like a true representation of where my writing and head is at. This album means a lot to me and I'm really proud of it. It feels like a long time coming but also feels like it wouldn't have come together without all of the time and experiences I've had leading up to this.”
