“George FitzGerald continues his form as one of the UK’s most dynamic electronic acts.” – Evening Standard
“New song ‘Mother’ is a beatific introduction, with the opaque electronics utilising subtle layers of sound… the results speak for themselves.” - Clash
Ahead of the release of his new EP Not As I (limited edition 12” out Aug 11th) tomorrow and in anticipation of his launch party at Peckham’s Jumbi tonight, George FitzGerald today releases the title track from the spellbinding EP.
“Not As I” is a journey into a musical landscape of intricate sounds and effortlessly interlaced vocals and synths. Clever, confident and self-assured, it’s the sound of George at his very best. “'Not As I' embodies the theme I felt throughout writing this EP of wanting to slow down and take a breath somehow,” George comments. “Whilst everything around me continues to accelerate. A return to writing patient music in an impatient world."

The release today follows entrancing lead track “Mother” which ft. recent Lana Del Rey collaborator SYML and the tantalisingly ascendant “Venera”. These tracks and the rest of the Not As I EP showcase George’s continued evolution as a producer and his ability to reframe his work through new collaborations. “I’d been thinking a lot about my first record ‘Fading Love’ and I wanted to revisit the calmer and more intimate part of my sound,” George explains. “Music that occupies a liminal space between club and home listening. To me, ‘Stellar Drifting’ fizzed with nervous energy and maximalist sound design. In my head, this is the afterglow from that.”
Upcoming live dates

George FitzGerald is a singular voice in electronic music, uniting underground dancefloor progressivism with pop’s cutting edges for over a decade. Following the release of 2015’s debut album Fading Love and 2018’s breakthrough album All That Must Be, last year’s Stellar Drifting, featured tracks with Panda Bear, London Grammar and SOAK, and artwork created by the celebrated designer David Rudnick. The campaign concluded with a sold-out UK and European tour in October.
After many years in Berlin releasing tracks on labels including Aus and Hotflush Recordings, FitzGerald signed to Domino's imprint label Double Six in 2013 and made the transition from club producer to album artist, establishing a celebrated live show, and working with icons such as Bonobo and Everything But the Girl’s Tracey Thorn. As well as a collaboration album entitled OTHERLiiNE with UK artist Lil Silva, FitzGerald helped produce London Grammar's 2021 number one album, hosted his very own BBC Radio 1 residency and boasts a remix roster with the likes of Foals, Moby and Jon Hopkins.
Not As I is available to pre-save digitally and pre-order as a limited edition 12” now. Each 12” will be hand numbered by George and will be released on 11th August following the digital release of the EP on 9th June. Pre-order: Dom Mart | Digital.
