Georgia Gets By site I FB I IG I X I youtube I tik tok I spotify Split Lip, the new EP by Georgia GetsBy (Georgia Nott), eloquently traverses the unsettling terrain that comes withnavigating both subtle and pronounced change. After a decade of fronting well-known electronic pop project BROODS, Split Lip comes after Nott’s solo debut Fish Bird Baby Boy, which was thesongwriter’s foray into more stripped back, guitar-focused music thatoscillates between straightforward indie leanings and moodier, textualacoustics.   Outlets like Vogue, Line ofBest Fit, Paste, Gorilla vs Bear and DIY Magazine have praised her “strikinglyintimate, delicate yet powerful” music, and while Fish Bird Baby Boy felt like a gradual unveiling, the new EP encapsulates what it’s like to love bigger than everbefore.  Playing shows in sixcities across three different countries in early 2024, her past success touringwith BROODS has lent her a clear confidence on stage as Georgia Gets By. Written fairly quickly, Split Lip was born out of the dissolution of her first queer relationship. Every song is deeply personal, so much so that Nott went back and forth on whether to release them, before realizing that being able to express that vulnerability was the most important thing.  “When people don’t hold back in their artit’s really beautiful to me,” Nott explains. Although Split Lip is a metaphor for many kinds of separations, throughout any fervent intensity, there’s also a sense of playful abandon that is never far behind.  Mainly working with long-term friends and collaborators on the EP, it’s easy to sense the love and care that comes with creating alongside a carefully considered inner circle.  “It’s impossible to make the kind of art thatI make on my own,” she says, and  it’s this commitment to forging the deepest connections possible that makes Nott’s songs feel high stakes.
