Breymer shares new single ‘Medication’

On October 18, Minnesota born singer-songwriter Breymer, aka Sarah Walk (she/they), will release When I Get Through with One Little Independent Records. The album is a strikingly honest exploration of their relationship with gender and identity, and specifically it tracks Walk’s experience undergoing top surgery, from making the decision to the process itself.

Revelatory and radically insightful, When I Get Through bares all as Breymer takes listeners through every stage of their pursuit for self-acceptance. Unlike anything that has come before it, Walk’s ideas surrounding their own physical and mental progress are candid, authentic and ultimately breathtaking. Amidst a body of deftly constructed songcraft and extraordinary poeticism, Breymer has penned a companion piece for anyone in search for their true selves.

New single ‘Medication’, with its lush, indie-pop sensibilities is “a song about denial. It’s an interesting thing being on anti-depressants and/or anti-anxiety medication, because I find myself constantly wondering ‘am I feeling better?’ or ‘what are the limits of how much this could improve how I feel?’ I found this especially confusing and frustrating during my top surgery journey because I was desperately begging for something – anything, to help me feel better in my body, without having to face the reality myself”.
