Georgia Fields combines the childlike naivety of experimental sounds (children’s toys and cordless drills) with timeless strings, brass, and woodwind arrangements. She has been heralded as a pocket-sized orchestral wonder.
‘All The King’s Men’ is a ukulele-based, joyfully retro escapade into the realms of domestic bliss. Fields composed while riding shotgun on a car trip out to the country, and wrote the bridge section a few days later on her bicycle as she pedalled the neighborhood streets.
