On 27 March 2020, Gavanski released her debut full-length album, Yesterday Is Gone.[7] Exclaim! music magazine, which had declared Gavanski as one of "eight emerging Canadian artists you should hear,"[8] awarded the album 9/10.[9] Music website Monkeybiz described the album as "a beautiful work of art".[10] BBC Radio 6 Music made Yesterday Is Gone its album of the week.[11][unreliable source?]
