Georgia Gets By announces debut her EP, Fish Bird Baby Boy

01 August 2023, 11:12 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

The EP announcement coincides with the release of the brand new single, “Happiness Is An 8 Ball".

Georgia Nott – best known for her work in the electronic pop band BROODS – announces her debut EP as Georgia Gets By. “After years working collaboratively as BROODS, I wanted to start a project that could be wholly about my experiences,” she says.

Of the new single “Happiness Is An 8 Ball,” which arrives today with a video directed by Silken Weinberg (Ethel Cain, Skullcrusher), Nott says, "This song is about using unhealthy coping mechanisms in a desperate attempt to make things work with someone. When love doesn’t bind you anymore and only the pressure to live up to the expectations of a relationship keep you together, you begin to find yourself turning to other means to find the energy to be with them."

While BROODS remains an important feature of Nott’s life, she’s been quietly working on a solo project under the moniker Georgia Gets By for years.

“I’m always making music to combat, you know, life,” she says. “As I was writing these songs, I was opening old wounds.” At the time, she found herself living what she describes as “a nomadic life,” moving between Los Angeles, New York, New Zealand, and beyond as she worked out the songs that would define Georgia Gets By.

Nott worked with composer/producer Noah Beresin (Christine & the Queens, Blood Orange, Santigold) on Fish Bird Baby Boy, in addition to enlisting friends she’d made throughout her long professional career such as Suzy Shinn (Weezer, Panic! at the Disco, Fitz and the Tantrums) and Seth Paris, and more, to contribute to the EP’s production. “The people you meet in the studio and on tour who you really connect with, you hold on to one another,” she says.

Tracklist:

1. Oh Lana
2. Easier To Run
3. Happiness Is An 8 Ball
4. So Free So Lonely
5. Fish Bird Baby Boy

“Happiness Is An 8 Ball" is out now. Fish Bird Baby Boy is due for release on 6 October via Luminelle Recordings.
