Georgia Gets By has shred “Not This Time,” the final single from her new Split Lip EP, now availale via Luminelle Recordings (Jane Penny, Sea Lemmon, Alaska Reid). “”Not This Time” is about returning to an ex and scraping the bottom of the barrel of intimacy,” Georgia Nott explains. “Seeking the familiar comfort of their arms around you. Trying to go back to your old home and coming to terms with the fact that you don’t belong there anymore.” The song features previous singles “Madeline,” “Some Kind of Angel.”

Split Lip was born out of the dissolution of Georgia’s first queer relationship. Every song is deeply personal, so much so that Nott went back and forth on whether to release them, before realizing that being able to express that vulnerability was the most important thing. “When people don’t hold back in their art it’s really beautiful to me,” Nott explains. Although Split Lip is a metaphor for many kinds of separations, throughout any fervent intensity, there’s also a sense of playful abandon that is never far behind. Mainly working with long-term friends and collaborators on the EP, it’s easy to sense the love and care that comes with creating alongside a carefully considered inner circle. “It’s impossible to make the kind of art that I make on my own,” she says, and it’s this commitment to forging the deepest connections possible that makes Nott’s songs feel high stakes.
