Brian Ortiz Thank you guys again for another magnificent performance in Denver last night! Absolutely spectacular. Keep killing it \m/ Favorite track: The Call’s Inside The House.

veryvery In the first few bobs and sways, adrift amid the opening bars in Two Bit, I was overcome with an impossible sense of nostalgia, like I was hearing a forgotten favorite for the first time in years. Now, nearing the end of the final track, I’m honestly having trouble convincing myself that’s not true, but I can rest assured that any residual delusion will only be temporary. This one is certain to rise up as a long time favorite, in short order. Favorite track: Clay Feet.

about

Emerging Toronto-based artist Rachel Bobbitt released The Ceiling Could Collapse EP last year to critical acclaim that earned her touring slots supporting the likes of Indigo de Souza, Men I Trust, Sunflower Bean and more. Today she announces another remarkable collection of songs, The Half We Still Have.

To celebrate the announcement of The Half We Still Have, Rachel Bobbitt shares “Two Bit,” the EP’s powerful opener. The song reflects on past intimate relationships, and how things that should be beautiful like physical intimacy can become confusing & claustrophobic. “I wrote “Two Bit” looking back on moments as a teenager where I ignored my gut because of the all-consuming feeling of a young relationship,” she says.

Produced and mixed by Jorge Elbrecht (Sky Ferreira, Japanese Breakfast) at 80A Studios in Toronto, The Half We Still Have is a series of sharp and incisive character studies, told with unflinching honesty, piercing intuition, and fearless self-reflection. “I wanted these songs to reflect the intense dynamics that take shape in relationships,” Bobbitt says. “I’ve found in some relationships, you give and give, only to eventually lose yourself in the process. In those moments where we feel abandoned & hollow, a small sliver remains intact, preserved, and personal.” As the record explores everything from power dynamics to a betrayal by a loved one, The Half We Still Have is a searing, empathetic work of musical non-fiction, and just the beginning of an immensely bright future to come.

Delicate yet powerful. Introspective, evocative. It's a window into this stranger's life that reflects my own memories and my own emotions. The title track is a paradox that wrestles with the vulnerability created by sharing these songs which proceeds musings of wanting to be both with and without friends/family. It's deeply personal and I feel blessed that she shared this with the world. herb_
