Georgie – “Contamination” & “The Propaganda And The Pesticides (ft. Shola)”
Georgie stands for a lot of things – a short list includes: anarcho-feminism; environmental concerns; eternal love; and… killing your landlord and feeling bad about it? More than one thing can be true at once, of course, and if anything, Georgie is all about living multiple truths. The band often exists as a collective of sorts, but is regularly performing as a six-piece, usually with a fiddle/trombone/cello accompanying the typical indie rock band guitar/bass/drums.
We’ve featured Georgie before, but we’re excited to share that they’ve just released two new singles, “Contamination” & “The Propaganda And The Pesticides (ft. Shola).” Georgie is really unlike anything else – on “Propaganda,” a chamber pop backbone sways hypnotically, fleshed out with strings, lilting vocals, and an omnipresent school bell. It’s punctuated thoroughly by a staccato, spoken-word rap – a complete blurring of genres that denies all categorization. “Contamination” starts with the same off-kilter whirr of a school bell, but eventually opts into more traditional indie-folk songwriting with a perfectly heartbroken skew. Certainly something worth dissecting thoroughly before the full album is released during the summer solstice.
Check out the new singles via bandcamp – we recommend starting with “Contamination,” embedded below.
