UK electronic linchpin George FitzGerald unveils Stellar Drifting, his third album, alongside final single 'Passed Tense' - a collaboration with Animal Collective figurehead Panda Bear.
Opening to a subtle yet enveloping melodic line, the track drops back into more front-facing territory with a garage-esque percussive arrangement and the introduction of Panda Bear’s unmistakable vocal guiding the track’s uptempo nature. As the track breaks into its chorus, Panda Bear’s delivery helps present one of the album’s most indisputably feel-good moments – unveiling his deft ability for bold, upfront songwriting with no less of a rousing edge.
George’s instrumental work on the track never strays far from the limelight; simultaneously rhythmic, delicate and energetic. ‘Passed Tense’ is a hugely sophisticated work of pop-leaning electronic music that helps to further showcase Stellar Drifting’s stunning diversity.

Of the track, FitzGerald notes: “Working with Noah (Panda Bear) on this track was such a highlight. The tone of his voice and his lyrical style are both so unique. It put the music and the whole record in a completely new context emotionally and stylistically.”
To celebrate the release of Stellar Drifting, George FitzGerald will embark on a UK/EU/North American tour in support of the record, bringing a brand new live show to stages for audiences to experience the album, and crowd favourites, in a brand new context. FitzGerald will also play two very special intimate in-store concerts at Rough Trade in London and Bristol in September.
An expansive manifestation of sonic wonder, Stellar Drifting, sees George FitzGerald unveil a record of wide-eyed wonder and emotion, filled with glistening melodies and iridescent electronics. A genuine progression in both scope and composition, the album stands up as one of the great works of atmospheric electronic music with its feet on the dance-floor, but its heart 1000 miles above the earth itself.
