George FitzGerald shares new song "Passed Tense" featuring Animal Collective's Panda Bear
31st August 2022
This Friday, UK electronic linchpin George FitzGerald unveils Stellar Drifting; his third album and an expansive manifestation of sonic wonder. Today, FitzGerald reveals one final taste before the album’s unveiling; a collaboration with Animal Collective figurehead Panda Bear titled "Passed Tense"
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. I've been a fan for a long time, and his unique voice and lyricism took my music to a completely new place emotionally and stylistically."
