Description
Cover Notes: Izzy Hagerup has been kicking around the songs that make up Prewn’s debut album for the better part of a decade. It wasn’t until the pandemic hit however that she really had the seclusion needed to complete them. With a chance opportunity to write and record at Kevin McMahon’s (Swans, The Walkmen, Pile) Marcata Studio during lockdowns, she was able to focus without distraction, bringing her ideas to life. She describes the immersive time spent in the studio as ‘life changing’, in large part due to the pure isolation where ‘creating was the focus and I could really be alone, leading me to find myself more prolific than I ever thought I could be’. The results are staggeringly beautiful and triumphantly visceral. While the recordings have sat semi-completed, Prewn has grown to become one of Western Massachusetts’ most in-demand bands. With full band recordings set to come in the future, ‘Through the Window’ is an intimate introduction to the project, capturing a place and time, the songs urgently needing to find their way out.
