As if extending an open hand to a friend in need, Gert Taberner
makes the kind of music that pulls you out of life’s low points. His sound hinges on an
acute sense of empathy as much as it relies on his inventive soundscape architecture,
airtight songcraft, and unfiltered lyricism. After building a devout fan base and gathering tens of
millions of streams, his third EP, If We Kept On Trying, is further indication of that.
The EP features previously released gems such as To Break, Alright, and Tourist, which serve as emotional pillars within the overall narrative of the collection. These
songs capture the poignant realization that everyday moments, like sharing a simple
cup of coffee with a loved one, can become bittersweet memories when faced with the
fragility of life. Gert Taberner's music becomes a vessel for the emotions that
accompany these experiences, offering a sense of understanding and connection to
anyone who has walked a similar path.
