“Georgia Fields is a phenomenally accomplished young artist ... While many of her contemporaries share a similarity of delivery, Georgia is unique and timeless...” ~ Billy Baxter (ABC Radio)
Georgia Fields is tickled pink to announce the release of the first single from her forthcoming album.
Whether playing solo or with her mini-indie-orchestra, Georgia woos audiences with her distinctive blend of timeless pop, vintage folk, and unconventional instrumentation.
Her new single, ‘One Finger’, tells the cheeky tale of a fight for the upper hand in a passive-aggressive friendship. It’s a sauntering strum-along, with Georgia’s storytelling vocal inciting the listener to both bop and sway. The shuffling rhythm section is enriched with the delicate timbres of ukulele, clarinet, and a soaring string section. Tying in with the ‘house of cards’ artwork, each limited-edition single will come with a unique collectable vintage playing card.
Bonus material on the disc includes ‘Moon To Dust’, an elaborate composition which was remarkably recorded in one solitary 10-hour studio session. Its wooden and broken-music-box semblance, with glockenspiels chiming and cellos mourning, reveals sublimely subtle sadness. The second b-side on the single is a inspired version of the Gunners classic ‘Sweet Child of Mine’. Recorded live at The Toff In Town (Melbourne), its childlike charm instantly embeds itself in the soft spot of your heart. Three part harmonies, glockenspiel Slash riff and a recorder choir finale fortifies this cover as instant smile-maker.
Collaborators on Georgia’s forthcoming album include cellist and multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire, Judith Hamann (cello, harp, vocals, piano, power drill and more). Engineer whizkid Myles Mumford is also on board, (Lamplight; Martin Martini), with ARIA- & APRA-awarded Greg Arnold of iconic Australian band Things of Stone and Wood in the producer’s seat (Carus; Skipping Girl Vinegar).
’One Finger’ is released Saturday 15 August on Popboomerang Records & distributed through MGM.
