Something True EP

Music has never left Donna Thompson, but for a while she left it. There was no loss of love for the craft itself; instead it was the collision of trying to find space and time to create running up against the realities of having to pay rent and make a living. And, as anyone who gives up something they love can attest, once you’re out it’s hard to get yourself back in. Donna, however, is back IN. Skip forward a few years and she’s now a key figure and collaborator in the increasingly legendary Total Refreshment Centre, back in her groove as a musician and fighting hard for that creative headspace she once thought she’d lost. "Sometimes I get really stuck in my head and bogged down in things that take over my brain space and make me feel low. I took a step back and actually looked at my life and all the everyday occurrences and people that remind me that, actually, most things I experience aren’t too bad. I’m really grateful for these things."
