Georgette La Mar - The Things You Find Fawning (Independent, 2021)

Out of nowhere these five tracks struck me. The EP put me in a mood that I haven’t felt since my last visit to The Paradise Motel. Listening more closely it occurs to me that the recording and mixing of these tracks could have so easily been more dense and complicated – bigger – but it’s understated and that allows the brilliance of the songwriting to be laid bare. There are layers, but they serve to leave the songs’ bones exposed and don’t crowd the dusty vocals.

Georgette La Mar’s Fawning is not campfire folk, it’s folk for empty houses.

“You won again, and you're the best”
