Dana Gavanski
Canadian singer/songwriter Dana Gavanski creates a stylish amalgam of artful folk and indie pop in the vein of artists like Cate Le Bon and Aldous Harding. After a handful of singles, she released her debut album, Yesterday Is Gone, in 2020. She added components including Moog synthesizer to her already complex if soft-footed instrumental palette for 2022's When It Comes. Two years later, the more playful and volatile LATE SLAP injected her sophisticated sound with some angular, new wave energy.
Born and raised in Vancouver to Serbian parents, Gavanski relocated to Montreal to attend university. While pursuing a career in acting and film, she began writing songs on a guitar she inherited after a breakup. Working with her father as a production assistant on a horror film in the Laurentian Mountains of southern Quebec, she earned enough money to devote herself more fully to her music and eventually emerged in 2019 with the austere Spring Demos EP. Signing with U.K. label Full Time Hobby, she released the "Catch/Off Again" 7" single in November of that year, followed in early 2020 by her full-length debut, Yesterday Is Gone. It was recorded and produced by Sam Gleason (Charlotte Cornfield, Ada Lea) and Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP).
Following a pause in touring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she eventually returned to the road as an opener for Porridge Radio in late 2021. After demo'ing songs on a toy Casiotone, she tracked her next album, When It Comes, with her partner and co-producer James Howard. It arrived on Full Time Hobby in April 2022. She decided to let loose with emotions on April 2024's LATE SLAP, a more playful and angular album recorded with a five-piece that included Howard. The singer/songwriter favored an '80s Yamaha DX7 synth for LATE SLAP in sessions produced by Gavanski, Howard, and Lindsay.
