Georgia Mooney

Georgia Mooney is an ARIA-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Sydney. Her music is ornate, lush and hand-crafted. Her songs tell stories of the beauty and potency of vulnerability, and the complexities of connection and perception, carried by her soaring ethereal voice over lush, cinematic soundscapes.
Audiences already know Mooney from beloved folk band All Our Exes Live In Texas. With Exes, she became a festival favourite, touring extensively around the world. She’s shared the stage with everyone from the Backstreet Boys to Nathaniel Rateliff to Midnight Oil.

The release of debut solo singles War Romance, I Am Not In A Hurry, Break It Off & Soothe You mark an exciting new chapter and the stepping forward of a major talent. Her solo work is a stylistic departure for Mooney, a striking indie-folk-pop album, co-produced with Grammy-winner Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom, Cate Le Bon, Marlon Williams). Recorded over 18 months across 2021-2022 as the world walled off into isolation, Mooney and Georgeson turned the situation to their advantage, recruiting their dream lineup of musicians from around the globe, players whose talents have adorned recordings by artists including Phoebe Bridgers, Laura Marling, Adele, SIA, Bon Iver, boygenius and Rufus Wainwright.
Full of Moon, the album that resulted, is a glorious and imaginative sonic fresco, rich in texture and colour, and as wide in scope as the seductive intimacy of Mooney’s stunning vocals and confronting and deftly observed lyrics. Mooney’s music exists beyond the bounds of time and space. An avowed Star Wars nerd who presents as a 40s movie star - she seems both from a long time ago and a galaxy far away, while speaking directly to the present. Influences from every member of the Wainwright family, Joni Mitchell, the sophistication of the Great American Songbook and even classical composers sift through her songs seamlessly, alongside fuzzed out guitars and production that evoke the unsettling genius of Kate Bush - both her idiosyncratic wall of sound instrumentation and unexpected turns of chords and melodies. Add to that witty, ribald stage banter engendering frequent comparisons to Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge; Georgia Mooney puts on a captivating and unmissable live show.

Georgia Mooney’s debut solo album will be released on August 25, 2023 via Nettwerk.
