<a href="spotify:album:0gMlHbUyWtTK9WjERopNjh" data-name="Little Disappearance">Little Disappearance</a> is Sam Lynch’s debut studio album, released October 2020 on Winnipeg label Birthday Cake.

On <a href="spotify:album:0gMlHbUyWtTK9WjERopNjh" data-name="Little Disappearance">Little Disappearance</a>, Lynch oscillates between universality and specificity, while making peace with the impermanence of life—she sings on &#34;<a href="spotify:track:2dzeI4sQBhKRyWSGVZwpFa" data-name="Keeping Time">Keeping Time</a>&#34;: &#34;I know the moon isn’t there for me to hold on to&#34;.

The act of disappearing is often equated with vanishing, yet Lynch views it as a process of making space—particularly regarding this record, which she says holds “dissolving resentment, a fading memory, a changing reflection; a little disappearance.&#34;
