Episode 75: Georgia Knight

If you're not yet a card-carrying member of the Georgia Knight club, then you're in prime position to change your life.Originally from Melbourne, Georgia Knight has been part of the music world for some years now, having made a public debut with her solo material back around 2019.As she continued to write and record, Georgia shared more music until the release of her 'Hell On Bent Street' EP, showcasing a truly stellar approach to her musical craft which is probably best described as indie rock with elements of folk thrown in.Since then, things have been a bit quiet. While Georgia recorded a full album around 2023, and while she's played plenty of shows since, we've been waiting to hear new music for some time, with that drought set to end this week with the release of 'Beanpole.'A truly gorgeous album which shows a darker vibe to her already-impressive music, Beanpole is one of those albums you can't just listen to once, with its cinematic vibes and elements of trip-hop and avant-garde instrumentation enticing you to pop the headphones on and give it more of your time.I was lucky enough to catch Georgia a few times at BIGSOUND in Brisbane this year, and it's become crystal clear she's well on her way to becoming one of the country's most exciting musical exports.That's exactly why I made sure that I needed to have a chat with her for the podcast this week, which I did when she called in from her car in New Zealand for a lengthy discussion on music, social anxiety, and a love of great songwriters.Anyway, have a listen to Georgia Knight's 'Beanpole,' buy a ticket to her upcoming launch show, have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
