The five songs on the Kingfisher EP deal in nostalgia, lost time, and the peculiar pleasure of sadness. It was recorded in StudiOwz in Pembrokeshire in December 2021, engineered by Iwan Morgan (who co-produced along with Georgia, and with whom she worked on her last album Mai). Musicians include Stephen Black (Group Listening, Sweet Baboo) and Iwan Huws, and with additional percussion by Osian Williams, and string arrangements by Owain Roberts. Georgia’s one-year-old son Idris features in the background of a few of the songs, if you listen closely enough! Glassy electronic beats and improvised vocals sit alongside dreamy Americana.

Georgia said: “There’s a freedom you get with an EP – you can try things out, get it all out of your system. But all these songs are connected – they come from the same place. I imagined them all as scenes from the same film! “
Notes on the songs:
25 Minutes – “I’ve been meaning to ask you what it’s all been for.” Inspired by conversations with friends during the pandemic, this is a meditation on time passing: the things we might have lost, the things we did – or didn’t do – the things we spent too long waiting for, and the things we might have hidden away. Playlisted on BBC 6Music and Radio Wales.
Saint – “you’ve got so much to be happy about.” What happens when sadness feels more familiar and comforting than happiness? What if you just want to stay in it?
Half-Forgotten Heartbreak – “Faces put down to experience, don’t be so hard on yourself, they all made sense at the time.” Recorded completely live in one take, this is a song about nostalgia and the people lost along the way. In the strange time-warp of the pandemic, old relationships are re-evaluated, dissected, drawn out into the light – seen like this, they appear strange. “Time, time, endless time.” This is a woozy country song, best suited to the middle of the night.
Kingfisher – Giving the EP its title, this song explores change, and the importance of giving yourself permission to be different, to move on. “If it feels like an anchor, untether”.
The Sea – “Lick the salt, and lick your wounds, it’s OK to fall apart.” Moving back to the coastline where I grew up, this is a song about rediscovering how the sea restores. Mind, body, heart – the sea can put it all back together. The trick is remembering!
