“Something Borrowed, Something Blue”
Georgia Fields is earnestly applying the finishing touches to her debut album. In the meantime, the charismatic songbird is releasing the second single from her forthcoming record, to tide us over until the winter LP release.
‘Something Borrowed, Something Blue’ intertwines the childlike naivety of experimental sounds with mature and considered orchestral arrangements. Romantic without dissolving into a swamp of twee, the track features a charmingly bizarre animal toy sample. B-sides include ‘Sinking Relation Ship’ - a mournful, maritime-y tale of a couple who are “falling apart like pavlova' - and the string-lush ‘Happy Accidents’, recorded in her cellist’s lounge room.
Since her 2007 debut, Fields has earned a reputation for her impressive live shows. Her ‘Mini-Indie-Orchestra’ is a 12-piece ensemble of Melbourne’s musical heavyweights, featuring a string quartet, brass, woodwind, tuned percussion, full band, and even a cordless drill. Most recently she was named Frankie Magazine’s ‘New Favourite Band’ (March/April 2010 issue).
Collaborators on the forthcoming album include multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire, Judith Hamann (cello, harp, vocals, piano, and more), with ARIA & APRA-awarded Greg Arnold of Australian folk/rock institution Things of Stone and Wood in the producer’s seat (Carus; Skipping Girl Vinegar).
