Canadian indie artist Jody Glenham is back with Still Here, a self-produced EP set to arrive on April 24, 2026, marking a striking new chapter in her nearly two-decade career. The collection reflects a shift toward emotional endurance and creative maturity, moving beyond the immediacy and mood-driven focus of her past work to embrace patience, presence, and timeless songwriting. Hazy guitars, door-chime synths, and dreamy vocals weave together to create a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive.
Lead single “Love Deficiency Syndrome” captures the awkward optimism of post-breakup rebirth, pairing a sunlit mid-tempo bounce with what Glenham describes as “grinning through the pain.” Inspired by an article by Lena Dunham on ending a long-term relationship, the track brims with subtle nods—from a synth-and-guitar hook that mimics a drawn-out doorbell awaiting an Uber Eats delivery, to a bridge referencing computer shutdowns, evoking both the autopilot of romance and the slow work of becoming whole again. “We leaned into really melodramatic imagery,” Glenham says, “as a nod to how a breakup can make you feel like ‘my life is ending,’ when really… you’re going to be just fine.” The result is bittersweet yet buoyant—heartbreak reframed with a confident sense of ease and forward motion.
For nearly twenty years, Glenham has been a defining presence in Canada’s independent music scene. Her 2020 album Mood Rock earned national support from CBC Radio, charted on Canadian college stations, and was considered for the Polaris Music Prize long list. Her cinematic indie-rock style has landed placements in Netflix series including Snowpiercer, Tiny Pretty Things, and My Life with the Walter Boys. Praised by outlets such as NME, Refinery29, and American Songwriter—which described her work as “as if she composes music from the very elements in the air and atmosphere around us”—Glenham’s songs offer listeners permission to feel deeply without despair. American Songwriter also notes that she “holds time in her palm on Still Here, an EP that cradles each song like a memory,” a fitting testament to an artist whose music consistently balances cinematic sweep with intimate reflection.
