"Lush vocals paired with diverse, at times challenging orchestral arrangements."

More Georgia Fields More Georgia Fields

For lovers of lush vocals paired with diverse, at times challenging orchestral arrangements, Astral Debris is for you.

Melbourne singer-songwriter Georgia Fields channels Florence & The Machine-esque tribal beats on Hood & The Hunter (without the vocal acrobatics), and a cover of David Bowie's Where Are We Now? is as strong as the original. Produced by Fields and Double J host Tim Shiel, it's Lachlan Carrick's experienced hand at working with strong singers (Katie Noonan, CW Stoneking) that shines. Astral Debris promises a lot, and although the arrangements can sometimes mask her vocal line, tracks like Moon strike a fine balance.
