Georgia Maq - Pleaser

Georgia McDonald has established herself in recent years as the singer and guitarist of Melbourne Rock Indie Band, Camp Cope. The impact of the trio's music on the indie landscape has been undeniable, with McDonaldemerging as a brave, resilient, and often politicized figure. Using her formidablevoice to fight for the betterment of the music industry and rally against sexism, racism and all forms of structural inequality, she has never shied away from the uncomfortable and difficult topics that dominate the news cycle. So when McDonald describes her debut solo album, Pleaser as a Love Album, it's immediately clear that this is a step in a different artistic direction. The album opens strategically with Away From Love - The only time guitar is featured on all of Pleaser, with the rest of the album done entirely electronically. Pleaser's 8 tracks shimmer and pulsate, calling to mind pop artists like Lorde, Robyn, Charli XCX and Gwen Stefani.
