,: æIÆm learning how to say goodbye / to let you go and face the :,
: tide / to wrap my feelings in a song,Æ sings Dana Gavanski on :
:' the title track of her debut LP, Yesterday Is Gone. To wrap her ':
,: feelings in a song: this is the task Dana has dedicated herself :,
: to with this record. ItÆs a goal common to many songwriters, but :
:' few approach it with such aplomb. By turns break-up album, ':
,: project of curiosity, and, as Dana puts it, æa reckoning with :,
: myselfÆ, Yesterday Is Gone is her attempt to ælearn to say what :
:' I feel and feel what I sayÆ: an album of longing and devotion ':
,: to longing, and of the uncertainty that arises from learning :,
: about oneself, of pushing boundaries, falling hard, and getting :
:' back up. ':
,: :,
: Born in Vancouver to a Serbian family, Dana has always harboured :
:' a desire to sing. In her final year of university in Montreal, ':
,: she picked up the guitar left by her ex-partner and decided to :,
: re-learn. But with a father in film and a painter mother, other :
:' art-forms clamoured for her attention. She spent a summer as ':
,: her producer fatherÆs assistant in the Laurentians, in a :,
: derelict hotel-turned-office that looked like something out of :
:' The Shining. The long days behind a computer cemented her ':
,: desire to make music, æbecause it was so impossible to play that :,
: I needed to, in order to feel like it was real.Æ The income she :
:' saved that summer funded a year of writing religiously, leading ':
,: to EP Spring Demos in September 2017, which Dana describes as :,
: æwhatever was coming out of me. A flood.Æ :
:' ':
,: Following Spring Demos, Yesterday Is Gone reflects DanaÆs aim :,
: æto make something bigger, more thought throughÆ. Steeped in :
:' determination and uncertainty in equal measure û æI just wanted ':
,: to write a good songÆ û the album took shape after she returned :,
: from a writing residency in Banff, Alberta. She left the :
:' residency resolved not to worry about her songs being ætoo ':
,: obviousÆ. SheÆd begun to learn the art of empty time, of being :,
: alone with her emotions, losing herself in a landscape. She :
:' thought of Vashti Bunyan, riding for hours and writing, ':
,: writing, writing. She considered how she might use writing to :,
: make sense of her life after the tumults of a break-up and a new :
:' city. Adrift in Toronto, Dana struggled to feel at home and ':
,: connected to people, but the solitude also allowed her to ground :,
: herself in writing. She kept office-style hours at her bedroom :
:' desk every day until she started to understand the writing ':
,: process, to see that ætransforming a burning desire into :,
: something clear and tangible is a vulnerable and delicate act. :
:' You have to be able to let things happen, to accept losing ':
,: control.Æ :,
: :
:' The record is a co-production between Dana, Toronto-based ':
,: musician Sam Gleason, and Mike Lindsay of Tunng and LUMP. While :,
: Sam helped Dana bring out the tunes, MikeÆs input marked æthe :
:' beginning of developing a sound that was closer to what I had ':
,: in my headÆ. Though excited by the other elements of a song :,
: introduced during production, Dana and Mike were keen on :
:' æfinding essential things, not overblowing, keeping things bare ':
,: and letting the elements speak for themselvesÆ. Not that the :,
: sheer variety of sounds and instruments didnÆt overwhelm. æBut :
:' you have that feeling,Æ Dana says, æthen you just pick up an ':
,: instrument. At the base, you do know what you want. ItÆs about :,
: how to chip away at what you donÆt want.Æ :
:' ':
,: The album shapeshifted as it passed through the hands of Dana, :,
: Sam, and Mike, taking on different tastes, feelings, and :
:' visions. When Dana performed the songs with a band, they found ':
,: new form again. She was intrigued by performers like David Bowie :,
: and Aldous Harding, who inhabit different personalities on :
:' stage, physically tuning themselves to their music. æWatching ':
,: these kinds of performances,Æ Dana says, æI feel my body longing :,
: to express myself in exaggerations à to leave behind :
:' self-consciousness and become this energy.Æ ':
,: :,
: But a three-month trip to Serbia in autumn 2018 really pushed :
:' performance to the forefront of DanaÆs mind. She took singing ':
,: lessons to learn how to sing with the resonance that defines :,
: traditional Serbian song. Stirred by the bombast of fifties, :
:' sixties, and seventies music, including the high-energy kafana, ':
,: or cafΘ music, as rooted in expressive pouts as it is vocal :,
: resonance, the trip incited a yearning to completely inhabit :
:' herself on stage. æI often feel weÆre all just these controlled ':
,: bodies,Æ she says. æSometimes I just want to make a snarl with :,
: my lip and keep it there.Æ :
:' ':
,: Stood on a crowded train last spring, Dana sang the Macedonian :,
: song Jano Mome to an audience of cheery Scottish ladies. The :
:' moment, brief but beautiful, lays bare DanaÆs craving for live ':
,: spontaneity. But it also reflects her injection of stylish drama :,
: and vivid emotion into the folk landscape that inspires her, :
:' from contemporary singers H Hawkline and Julia Holter, to ':
,: stalwarts Fairport Convention, Anne Briggs, Connie Converse, and :,
: Judee Sill. Expressive urges run all through Yesterday Is Gone. :
:' Moments of beguilement splinter a backdrop of tenderly picked ':
,: guitar, bass, synth, and poppier elements, which commune to :,
: produce her own kind of wall of sound. Each component is :
:' meticulously placed, yielding a deeply sincere response to the ':
,: chaos of human emotion. :,
: :
:' æOften we have to go a little far in one direction to learn ':
,: something about ourselves,Æ Dana says. The months of solitary :,
: writing and self-doubt testify to this, but theyÆve led to :
:' Yesterday Is Gone: an optimistic, steely-eyed gaze into the ':
,: future. :,
: :
