Dana Gavanski announces her third album, LATE SLAP

“The album holds together the seemingly disparate aspects of my character that I have sometimes tried to repress,” says Dana Gavanski. “With this album I’m letting them into the room, celebrating them for all their strangeness - a strangeness which I think we all, on some level, share.”

“I realised that in order to become stronger I needed to get used to being uncomfortable," she continues, which is fitting, considering the album opens with "How to Feel Uncomfortable". The track is accompanied by video, directed by Ella Margolin.

Record with Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP) and her band at MESS, the producer’s studio in Margate. The five-piece, which includes Gavanski’s fellow co-producer James Howard (Rozi Plain, Alabaster dePlume), tracked the record over five days. “I knew Mike could help me find the range of sound I was looking for; he has an amazing attention to sonic detail and we’ve worked well together on previous records," she says.

LATE SLAP, follows on from Dana Gavanski's second studio album, When It Comes, which was mixed by Lindsay.
