British producer George FitzGerald was already well known, but he’s stepped further into the limelight with a debut album full of his signature sounds.
Gentle instrumental tracks segue nicely between the vocals songs like Full Circle, which is distinctly reminiscent of Chet Faker’s 1998. The spiralling music mirrors the melancholy singing of Oli Bayston, spreading a subdued feeling of resignation throughout the album that rarely disappears. FitzGerald stated he wanted to make music that reflected “the more complicated realities of [his] own life”, although only time will tell whether he has more to offer than Fading Love.
