Georgia Harmer - L'œil du cyclone [Gold]

“Eye of the Storm” is Georgia Harmer's second album, a gold vinyl, and a record about the strange negotiation between the person you were and the person you are becoming.

Her 2022 debut album, “Stay in Touch,” was primarily an introspection, charting growth in real time. This one asks a tougher question: once you look, what do you actually do with what you've found? Harmer writes in the tradition of Canadian songwriters and poets, and it shows in the patience of these songs, more interested in uncertainty than its resolution. Released in 2025, the album presents itself explicitly as a conversation between the past and the future, which seems like a lot to ask for ten songs, and it largely succeeds.

The title track sits at the center of the record, calm phrasing over instrumentation that threatens to intensify without ever quite doing so, which is the point. “Little Light” is the most tender thing here, “Hazel vs. the Coyote” is the strangest, most vivid image on the record, and “Time to Move On” closes the album’s emotional arc before “Memory Lullaby” lets it fade entirely.

What to keep, what to leave, what to pursue. Ten songs that actually answer that instead of just asking for it.
