GEORGIA MARLEY
SHE IS a singer-songwriter from Sydney with a penchant for pensive indie-pop jams that feel distinctly intimate, lowkey production and sparsely built soundscapes making each play feel like another personal performance from Marley herself. The simple, mostly electronic beats make for a rich bed of soil from which Marley’s warm, honeyed drawl and silvery fretting blossoms like a forest of exotic flora.
SHE SOUNDS LIKE that feeling when you flip your pillow over in the middle of the night and it’s just that little bit cool and extra comfy.
YOU’LL DIG HER IF YOU LIKE Angie McMahon, John-Allison Weiss and Tegan & Sara, and staying up all night flipping through old schoolbooks and reminiscing about your first crushes. Fiends of fat riffs need not apply, but if chill, pseudo-folky crooners hit your vibe, Marley will hand-deliver you the goods.
YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT her emphatically fluorescent debut album Yearning, which showcases ten dizzying and delightful slivers of Marley’s heart á la prickly acoustic guitars and minimalistic pop beats. Equal parts moving and melancholic, the LP demands your undivided attention as its charismatically alluring (and often crushingly relatable) stories unfurl.
