\n W<\/span>hat does it mean to leave a legacy?<\/p>\n \n It\u2019s a difficult question to answer. Thoughts may drift towards what we\u2019ve accomplished\u2014the biggest impacts we\u2019ve made, contributions to our crafts, and what we chose to put out into the world.<\/p>\n \n Hospital Gossip\u2019s newest single, \u201cIn Rain\u201d, is a reflection on legacy. Rather than focus on the loftier aspects of who we are, it homes in on the connections essential to our being\u2014the relationships we develop with those who will carry our memory forward.<\/p>\n \n In committing to this topic with such introspective honesty, with a music video that expertly builds a narrative around this theme, Hospital Gossip is establishing its own legacy.\n<\/p>\n \n The four-piece band consists of Alexander Callaghan, Devin Gourley, Jordan Haines and Don Corkum. Callaghan and Gourley started the band back in 2021, coming together to pen some songs that would inevitably end up on their 2023 EP, Apart at Last<\/a>. Originally, they had drummer Dylan Taylor, but after moving away, he was replaced by Corkum earlier this year.<\/p>\n \n Work on their second project started soon after the first, with songs being written by both Callaghan and Gourley, who also share vocalist duties. However, due in part to Taylor\u2019s departure, they decided to hold the album off until this fall. Taylor still plays on the album and, after a recent trip to Halifax, will appear in their next music video.<\/p>\n \n \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to rush something just for the sake of getting it out and then having it sort of fall flat,\u201d says Gourley of their newest record. \u201cWe decided to hold onto it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n With the album\u2019s rollout imminent, the band released their first single from the project on Monday, Sept. 1, along with its associated music video, directed by Fia Lillington<\/a> and featuring camerawork from Alex Boyd of Springtide Productions. Haines would handle the editing.<\/p>\nWho is Hospital Gossip?<\/h3>\n
