Speaking on the track Weary’s Kate Lahey explains, “Scraped Knee is a song about the wounds that haunt us. On the surface, these scrapes might seem commonplace, like heartbreak, but they return to us again and again throughout our lives. In some ways, I’m trying to convince myself that tomorrow will be better, in moments when it surely feels like it won’t. On the other hand, I find myself ruminating on the question ‘will you think of me like I think of you?’ There’s been moments I’ve wondered if a scrape has hurt the other person like it has me. From lost friendships, loves, family members, and our past selves, we all have scraped knee that stay with us. For me, Scraped Knee is a conversation with my hurting teenage self. A way of working through the angst, suffering and trauma of my past”.

Hush explores the quiet spaces that demand we listen a little closer, a little more carefully. Reckoning with the silences that memory leaves behind, Hush tends to the liminal spaces between suffering and hope in order to come to terms with the past and dream the future.

The album follows Weary’s 2017 debut Feeling Things; a moody breakthrough that grapples with the blunt edges of resistance: care, joy, and healing. GoldFlakePaint describes the album as “a rare, alluring gem”. Feeling Things was nominated for MusicNL’s Alternative Album of the Year in 2018. Weary was nominated for MusicNL’s Rising Star of the Year in 2018. In 2016, Weary was longlisted for the Borealis Award. Notable performances include East Coast Music Week Rising Star Stage, Flourish Festival, Bloom Fest, Lawnya Vawnya, Halifax Pop Explosion, Out of Earshot Festival, and MusicNL Week. Weary toured Eastern Canada with Property in Spring 2019. Weary was selected by a jury to participate in the Nickel Film Festival Music Video Incubator Project. Weary was an artist in United Way NL’s 2019 United by Song project.

Weary release Hush on August 12th 2022.
