NEW SONG: Pre-save "Say When" & Prism Prize win
Hello love,
My new single Say When drops July 19! I did tease this song from my car a few weeks ago. As the story goes, my team floated the idea of releasing a big bash summertime banger, and I thought it would be ironic to write a song about waiting endlessly for your big big break. COULD THIS BE THE ONE?
Please help me help the internet help this song and pre-save it.
I am overjoyed to announce that Fire Escape has won the Prism Prize Audience Award! I am so proud of this music video - my favourite I’ve ever had. THANK YOU to all who voted for this honour. Endlessly thankful to director Lester Lyons-Hookham for his laser sharp vision and the rest of the magnificent crew.
I came to Lester with a much more ridiculous slapstick idea, and he turned it into a beautifully nuanced depiction of the volatile relationships we have with our own psyches. I love that it’s funny, grotesque, sentimental and maudlin all in one go. TW: there are some allusions to self harm.
Obviously, Steven Ogg absolutely crushes this performance, and there are wonderful cameos from Alison Wright and Kirsten Slenning. If you haven’t seen it, you can do so below:
A bunch more Canadian shows this fall have sold out or are getting low so do not sleep on tickets! The band and I have been cooking up the most exciting show yet for this run.
Thank you for your eyes and your ears.
