Georgia - Side Tracks
The building blocks of this release stem from groups of samples created individually by Tripp and Close. These samples were shared between one another and provide the primary sound palette for the album. From field recordings of roosters in New Mexico to sculpted synthetic sounds, the specificity of this source material led them to create a dense yet homogenous landscape that is explored over the album’s two sidelong tracks.
The resulting music takes the duo’s complex layering, mutating textures and restless arrangements, and imbues them with a sense of the organic. Side Tracks unfolds at its own pace. It is visceral and cinematic, inviting listeners into its unique sound world.
The artwork for Side Tracks is a collaboration between Georgia and New York based artist, Gravé. Reflecting the natural layering of the music, Gravé’s illustrations have been morphed, stacked and collaged into many layers of transparency across the translucent layers of the cassette and case.
