So Faint is the collaborative project of Lyn Heinemann and Hannah Georgas, born from a chance encounter in a Vancouver recording studio and shaped by a decade-long friendship. After years on separate paths, with Lyn stepping away from bands, but still writing music for herself and Hannah building an acclaimed international music career that has recently seen her join Broken Social Scene for their latest LP Remember The Humans, the two reunited in 2023 to create the music they’d been quietly missing.
Now, the duo are officially launching the project and sharing their first single ‘Fully Slow.’ With Sean Sroka (Ten Kills the Pack) on board as a producer, engineering by Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck, Bully, Alvvays) and tracks mixed by Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Soccer Mommy, Angel Olsen).
The track comes from the duo’s self-titled debut, which is also being announced. The album will be released on October 16 on a new label founded by Georgas called Beetle Bomb Records.
‘Fully Slow’ explores the quiet ache of wanting someone who will never want you back—while still building entire fantasies around the possibility, as Heinemann explains: “’Fully Slow’ is about wanting someone who you know deep down will never want you back, but still fantasizing that they do. I’ve always been very prone to pointless intense crushes that remain completely internalized. I can construct a full storyline about what might happen and never do a single thing about it.”
