Career

Gavanski had considered following her father Ogden into the film industry. [1] After developing her music for a year she released her first EP, Spring Demos, in 2017 via Fox Food Records. [1]

In 2019 Gavanski released two singles, "One by One" and "Catch"; both were co-produced by Mike Lindsay of Tunng. [2] [3]

Gavanski recorded two sessions for BBC Radio 6 Music's Marc Riley show in 2019. [4] [5] In early 2020, Gavanski supported Damien Jurado on his European tour. [6]

On 27 March 2020, Gavanski released her debut full-length album, Yesterday Is Gone. [7] Exclaim! music magazine, which had declared Gavanski as one of "eight emerging Canadian artists you should hear," [8] awarded the album 9/10. [9] Music website Monkeybiz described the album as "a beautiful work of art". [10] BBC Radio 6 Music made Yesterday Is Gone its album of the week. [11] [ unreliable source? ]

The tour to promote Yesterday Is Gone was postponed, initially until later in 2020 and subsequently until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [12]

On 5 June 2020, Gavanski released a cover version of King Crimson's "I Talk to the Wind" with proceeds donated to charity. [13] On 14 August 2020 she released Wind Songs, an EP composed of four cover versions and a traditional Macedonian folk song. [14] [7]
