Go Gently Into the Night, is an album set in the four Canadian seasons and focuses on how life and mortality occupy them. I wrote the songs at a time where death felt omnipresent. This album has been my attempt at making peace with it as character of growing importance in my life.

“When it’s just you and a piano, there’s nowhere to hide your imperfections. Luckily for us, Her Harbour’s ‘Hewing Crowns’ doesn’t really have any. It might feel slightly hyperbolic to say there’s a bravery to a track like this, but it’s rare to find something so pure. It’s as picturesque as it is haunting.” – Adam Carter CBC Radio 1

“While there can sometimes be an eagerness to reveal your full hand on debut releases, what’s perhaps most impressive is the nature by which Her Harbour keeps so much hidden. The mood is vague and dream-like throughout but such blurriness lends an ever greater sense of both intrigue and wonderment.” – GoldFlakePaint

“there’s something like hope pulling the words from her body, the melody from her bones. It’s a beautiful meditation on loss and love.” – Andrea Warner CBC Music

“[Chime and Knell] personifies what music is – something to be experienced, where we completely lose ourselves inside Giguere’s beautiful fantasy.” – The Revue

“[Her Harbour] is able to summon the vitality out of every syllable she sings, making her one of the best female singer/songwriters making music right now.” – NYS Music
