GEORGIA FIELDS
SUPPORT MATERIAL:
ARTS PROJECTS FOR INDIVIDUALS
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Autistic singer-songwriter Georgia Fields seeks funding to record her fourth studio album with drummer / producer Josh Barber.
Drawing inspiration from “restricted and repetitive behaviours” (a key diagnostic criterion for Autism), she will use loops, polyrhythms, vocal chants, and melodic patterning within art-pop song forms, celebrating “repetition” as a vital and culturally rich form of Autistic expression. Lyrics explore themes of masking, communication differences, stimming, identity, parenting, and the complexities of life as a neurodivergent person.
Photographer Oscar Miller will capture Georgia on film for the album’s promotional materials.
Visual artist Kalindy Williams will use Oscar’s photos to create a collage-based album cover, reflecting the themes of repetition and identity. Kalindy will also develop a suite of textural, looping videos that can be projected behind Georgia at live shows, expanding the performance into a multi-sensory experience.
Four singles will be released, building momentum towards the full album in late August 2026:
Chameleon, released Friday 3 April 2026
Night Swimming, released Friday 15 May 2026
Split Down the Middle, released Friday 19 June 2026
Omens, released Friday 31 July 2026
Full album released Friday 28 August
EXAMPLE OF NEW WORK
Below is a demo of proposed album track Night Swimming, shown here as an example of the new work. This song details the experience of an Autistic meltdown at nighttime, but will resonate with anyone who has found themselves wide awake, adrift in a tide of thoughts and worries.
-
Night swimming
Violet tide
Mind brimming
Foam and fightAnd I become the static
Spleen buzzing with blind bees (it’s a)
Violent, silent somatic
Close up, tune out, fold inNight swimming
Ride the seiche
Try stimming
Bend and quakeAnd I become the sadness
Psyche at apogee
Wading through ink molasses
Close up, tune out, fold in
Close up, tune out, fold inWhat if the shadow is just my grief taking flight? (aah!)
What if the break is just to let in the light?And I become the static
Spleen buzzing with blind bees (it’s a)
Violent, silent somatic
Close up, tune out, fold inNight swimming
Night swimming

Press for Georgia Fields
“Fields' vocals float hypnotically, while meticulously crafted art-pop arrangements ruminate beneath. Fields presents each vignette of Hiraeth with vivid emotion, and a certain electricity runs across each line... Hiraeth feels like a moment of arrival.” ★★★★
