Adelaide’s own Georgia Oatley creates music that is undeniably strange - this is a good thing. Her music is different from everybody else’s: it pulses, it has depth, it speaks of weird and wonderful worlds at the tantalising tips of one’s fingertips.
The experimental artist released a new track, titled Into The Deep Blue, earlier this week. The name of the single is entirely fitting: listening to it is like being submerged, underwater, where everything feels far away and murky and translucent. Oatley’s voice is tender and lilting but still manages to be dynamic. The track is atmospheric, uncanny. It refuses to be one thing.
Into The Deep Blue is the latest single off of Georgia Oatley’s upcoming album A Pastoral, which is slated for a February 10th release. The album vinyl (which is a dreamy, translucent pink) is available for preorder now, or will be available to purchase at Oatley’s launch party on February 15th. It is “baby’s first vinyl press” - definitely something to be celebrated.
The album launch is looking to be an electrifying event. Set to take place at The Lab - the immersive, multi-faceted space located just off Light Square - the event promises to be transformative.
Kaleidoscopic wild-child My Cherie is set to open. The night will also include performances from Iranian-born Santur player Maryam Rahmi, (the Santur, for those who are wondering, is a delicate hammer dulcimer with 72-104 strings which dates back to 699 BCE), and musical whizz and adorned composer Gabriella Smart. Renowned visual artist Joe F. will be collaborating with Oatley to transform The Lab’s high-definition LED walls into an otherworldly aesthetic experience that is sure to perfectly complement the wondrous music set to be performed.

The night will close with Oatley, fresh off her successful performance at New Found Sound last weekend, in all her glory.
What better way to spend a temperate February night than by stepping into the weird and wonderful world of Georgia Oatley?
