Written in the wake of her father’s passing, the tender and haunting new single from Naarm/Melbourne-based Anna Smyrk explores the dizzying impact of grief with raw and touching honesty.
The ethereal vocals and rising guitar chart the unpredictable journey between shock and acceptance with Smyrk’s trademark compelling vulnerability.
“’This is a Drill’ is a song about not being ready to feel my feelings. It’s about the strange, foggy state of denial, where everything feels a little unreal, like normal life is happening on the other side of a heavy curtain, like each day is a drill for the real thing.”

‘This Is a Drill’ is the latest preview of Smyrk’s debut full-length album, Spectacular Denial, arriving 20 March.
