In a few days Georgia Harmer will take the stage, headlining at Toronto’s Longboat Hall on December 1, before heading to Montreal on December 14 for her last performance of 2022 at Casa Del Popolo. Georgia will then prepare for an 18 date North American tour with The Rural Alberta Advantage beginning February 23. Today, the twenty-two year-old Toronto-based musician is sharing two alternate versions of “Headrush” and “Homes” from her debut album, Stay In Touch, out now via Arts & Crafts. 

“It’s been just over a year since ‘Headrush’ came out and started slowly introducing the world to Stay In Touch,” says Harmer. “The songs on the album were written over the course of many years, through many periods of huge growth. These alternate versions take two of the foundational songs on Stay In Touch back to how they sounded when I first wrote them, just words and melodies of emotional processing. Singing them now in this way brings me back to their meaning, and the way it evolves and stays true over time.”

MORE ABOUT GEORGIA HARMER
With a wisdom and poise that belies her youthful age, Harmer has penned an emotionally resonant collection of songs that articulate the ways in which even the most fleeting experiences can forge bonds between strangers, create families out of friends, and one by one form the joys and sorrows that make up a life. Sonically, Stay In Touch spans everything from intimate folk and strummy country to sophisticated jazz and pop-kissed rock. Harmer and her band created musical landscapes that live up to the lyrical richness of the songs.

Stay In Touch is an unforgettable statement from a new artist with a heartbreakingly simple message: when you stay in touch with the experiences that have shaped you, you stay in touch with yourself. The album is full of romanticism – a rare quality in an irony-soaked culture. For Harmer, this is a record about “staying in touch with the aspects of yourself, your life, the world, that keep you aware of what's most important. Whether that's people, relationships, deep feelings, the value of togetherness and support. It’s about finding the balance between holding on and letting go, between the beauty of the world and the pain in the world.”

Twenty-two year-old Toronto-based musician Georgia Harmer will release her debut album, Stay In Touch, next Friday, April 22 on Arts & Crafts. Today, she unveils a new single “Top Down”. Following a string of resonating singles, “Top Down” is a sparkling, cathartic anthem written for the highway. Harmer’s voice is honeyed over subtly distorted guitar tones, as she sings of feeling hopeless while trying to help a friend out of a dark place. With lyrics that evoke feelings of incapability and insignificance, Harmer captures the longing for "top down" action, both personally, politically and environmentally. 

"'Top Down' is about feeling frustrated by my own powerlessness,” says Harmer. “It's about feeling very young and small, and not being able to control or change anything happening around me, in my personal life, and in the bigger picture. I was trying to help a friend out of a dark place, and struggling with my own type of dark place that goes along with coming of age and wondering - what exactly is my role in this big, sad, beautiful world?"

The accompanying self-directed video features footage of Harmer wandering around a closed down theme park on Toronto Island.

"one song in, it's clear that she possesses the kind of effortless musical ability that comes from a life surrounded by great art. ...a Big Thief and Phoebe Bridgers-sounding reflection on youthful abandon and the incomparable presence that accompanies it." - CBC Music on "Headrush"

“For Georgia Harmer, it’s a matter of when, not if. The Toronto songwriter’s serene debut single, ‘Headrush,’ displays a rare skill for wrestling obvious emotion — in this case, naked nostalgia — into sound.” - SPIN, 22 Artists to Watch in 2022

“With her recent singles ‘Headrush' and ‘Austin,' the Toronto singer-songwriter Georgia Harmer established herself as a noteworthy talent.” - Stereogum

“[‘Austin’] recalls Feist or Land of Talk with extra rootsy guitar twang.” - Brooklyn Vegan

"Harmer gets grittier on “Austin”, and this side of her is awesome. A grizzled guitar opens the track before a steel guitar and rhythms join the fray. This is the sound of a world that is dark and full of mystery and uncertainty." - The Revue on "Austin"

Twenty-two year-old Toronto-based musician Georgia Harmer presents a gorgeous new single, “Talamanca”, from her debut album, Stay in Touch, out April 22 on Arts & Crafts. For Harmer, music has always been a way “to process what was going on under the surface of a moment, a way for me to understand in retrospect what something meant.” The tone is set with album opener “Talamanca”, a song that begins with a story about a trip to Mexico and expands to encompass the communion that can occur between close friends— ‘Speaking without words/ Languages of seeing and being seen.’ The arrangement is built around Harmer’s evocative voice and bass harmonics contributed by Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station, Julia Jacklin) with reverb giving the song a dream-like texture to reflect Harmer lyrically moving through her memories. A counterpoint to the electricity of her earlier singles, "Talamanca" hones in on the roots of Georgia's music and her striking voice.

Harmer elaborates: “This song came out of me in a day in Costa Rica, and voice memos named it ‘Talamanca’ because that’s where we were staying. I loved the name partly because it was one of the few places I'd had time to think that year. I was on the road with Alessia Cara, nearing what I didn't yet know would be the end of that chapter, and missing my ‘old life.’ I went back to a memory of being in Mexico with two of my close friends. Every morning we’d sit on the roof of the neighboring house as the sun rose and drink our coffee, eat our breakfast, and bask in the rising light. We were very connected at the time and had a telepathic quality to our communication. This song is essentially about the telepathy and mind-reading that goes on between close friends.”

MORE ABOUT STAY IN TOUCH

Across Stay in Touch, Harmer captures ineffable moments with expressive detail: the euphoric memory of a summer’s day so perfect you want to live inside it forever, the dusty heat of a Texas afternoon, a tingle of melancholy on a solo walk home after a party. With a wisdom and poise that belies her youthful age, Harmer has penned an emotionally resonant collection of songs that articulate the ways in which even the most fleeting experiences can forge bonds between strangers, create families out of friends, and one by one form the joys and sorrows that make up a life.

Harmer has been making music since childhood, recording her own songs since age 10. She hails from an artistic family, including her aunt and labelmate Sarah Harmer (Georgia’s parents, both professional musicians, met while playing in Sarah’s band). While still a teenager, she hit the road as a backing vocalist for Alessia Cara, touring and playing late night TV for many months. But when it came time to make her own album, Harmer knew she needed to find her own people. After dropping out of university to pursue music full-time, Harmer began jamming with jazz students at Humber College in Toronto; guitarist Dylan Burchell, drummer Julian Psihogios, and bassist David Maclean, and engineer/producer Jasper Smith assembled to record at ArtHaus in Dufferin Grove. “It was nice because we could just play how we’re used to playing, crammed in a room together, and capture the natural feeling of that.” Smith didn’t tell Harmer that he had never engineered a record before until after it was complete.

Stay in Touch spans everything from intimate folk and strummy country to sophisticated jazz and pop-kissed rock. Harmer and her band created musical landscapes that live up to the lyrical richness of the songs. The record sparkles with the lightning in a bottle feel of a band in thrall to their musical chemistry, adding more depth to the record’s themes. Stay in Touch is inspired both by the relationships of Harmer’s past and the joy of finding your people in the here and now. It’s an unforgettable statement from a new artist with a heartbreakingly simple message: when you stay in touch with the experiences that have shaped you, you stay in touch with yourself.
