WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“I wrote this song to be reminder to myself to always take care of the relationships that are the closest and mean the most to me,” Garrett says of “It’s Easier When You’re Standing There.” “Often times, life gets so busy and intense that we can take for granted the ones closest to us. Love is the most valuable currency we can offer each other. This is by far the biggest production I’ve produced with a full orchestra recorded in Los Angeles. I’m proud of the sonic landscape I’ve created to tell this little story.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
The equator splits the Earth between the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere. Climates, seasons, and time zones may inversely differ, yet many journeys cross from one half to the other and sometimes back again. Garrett Kato’s journey wraps both halves together in one musical odyssey blanketed by a patchwork of folk, indie, alternative, and rock. The troubadour details his story from busking and backpacking to worldwide recognition as a singer-songwriter and producer across a pair of 2020 EPs —s. hemisphere and n. hemisphere.
“It’s sort of bipolar,” he laughs. “For the first part, s. hemisphere chronicles me relocating to Australia from Canada and eventually getting married, becoming a dad, and settling down. On the other end of the spectrum, n. hemisphere reminisces on my life in Canada before the eventual rebirth. There are moments of longing to go back to North America. I’m discussing those little things anybody who moves away from home feels. I view this as an album in two separate parts with a fully realized idea.”
Garrett traded Canada for Byron Bay in 2010, planting roots after years of nomadic living. By 2020, he generated upwards of 35 million worldwide streams and performed sold-out shows alongside Damien Rice and Ziggy Alberts. He also cemented himself as an in-demand producer, working with the aforementioned Ziggy Alberts, as well as Kyle Lionheart, Pete Murray, Pierce Brothers, and more.
