Broken Social Scene just released their first album in nine years, Remember The Humans, this past May. Now, the band's Hannah Georgas is joining forces with fellow Vancouver musician Lyn Heinemann for a new project called So Faint, whose debut album arrives this fall. The lead single, "Fully Slow," is an extremely promising earworm full of yearning.
"'Fully Slow' is about wanting someone who you know deep down will never want you back, but still fantasizing that they do," Heinemann says. "I've always been very prone to pointless intense crushes that remain completely internalized. I can construct a full storyline about what might happen and never do a single thing about it."
The LP will come out via Beetle Bomb Records, a new label launched by Georgas, about which she explains, "I've been thinking about putting out music on my own label for a while. I've watched the way music gets released change so much since I first started out, and now so much of that process falls on the artist. For me, it felt exciting to build a team I really know and trust and create something that feels personal. At the end of the day, I just want to put this music out into the world. I've worked really hard on it with Lyn, and I'm excited for people to hear it."
So Faint has Sean Sroka (Ten Kills The Pack) as producer, Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck, Bully, Alvvays) on engineering, and Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Soccer Mommy) on mixing. Check out the "Fully Slow" music video directed by Georgas alongside Mack Calistan below.
