Stellar Drifting, the third album from British producer Geroge Fitzgerald, manages to capture a lifetime of influence and over a decade of musical experience into one cohesive and catchy album of melodic, pop-but-not-poppy influenced electronic music. Across ten tracks, Fitzgerald touches on elements of UK Garage, House & Techno, Electro and more dance music subgenres, while drawing more influence from pop music arrangements and songwriter influenced melodic richness. With Stellar Drifting, Fitzgerald cements himself as one of the most exciting producers in the “warm and fuzzy electronic world” alongside the likes of Bonobo, Four Tet or Caribou.
