Georgia Maq has shared a new video for “Slightly In The Middle,” the track is off the artist’s forthcoming album God’s Favourite, available September 4th via 1000 Rats. “This song is basically a conversation between me and whoever the boss of the Devil and God is,” Georgia explains. Co-produced by Maq alongside Daniel Fox (Ryan Beatty, Ian Sweet), with the ever present influence of formative music memories parents instil on their children. She continues, “I grew up listening to my dad play the fiddle part of The Devil Went Down To Georgia and I always loved it because it says my name and I love hearing my name in a song.”

Reflecting on God’s Favourite, Maq shares: “Every release gets me closer to self actualisation, and God’s Favourite is the next big step for me. Every time I release music, I look back at my catalogue and feel an urgent sense of shame and embarrassment – I feel different about this one though, Daniel Fox was a huge part of this, he’s my collaborator and one of my best friends and we bring such different things into the songs and he’s really helped me find myself through the music.”

Maq continues, “I want to acknowledge that I stopped singing in an Australian accent,” Georgia continues. “Honestly, it was never really natural for me in the first place, I started singing when I was a kid in an American accent because I was brought up on country and bluegrass music (dad) and Cold Chisel (mum) and I feel like I’ve come back to that. I think maybe this EP is me connecting to my mum also, it was unintentional but I think the songs are letters I’m sending to her back home.”

Georgia Maq, the former leader of punk trio Camp Cope, calling out music industry sexism over fearsome indie rock salvos. In late 2019, Maq surprised everyone by releasing her solfo debut, Pleaser, including “Someone Stranger” with Alice Ivy
