ARIA-winner Georgia Mooney makes music fit for stargazing. Audiences already know her from the beloved folk band, All Our Exes Live in Texas, who toured the world extensively, sharing stages with artists like the Backstreet Boys, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Midnight Oil.
The release of Mooney’s debut solo album, Full of Moon, marks the emergence of a major talent. Co-produced with Grammy-winner Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom, Cate Le Bon, Marlon Williams), the album is an ornately melodic, folk/dream-pop universe, carried by Mooney’s soaring ethereal vocals over lush, cinematic soundscapes.
Nominated for two AIR Awards and described by The Australian as “nothing short of a triumph” (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2), Full of Moon has garnered critical acclaim worldwide. Mooney has signed with renowned Canadian label Nettwerk and embarked on a 50-date Australian tour with Kate Miller-Heidke. She has opened for Martha Wainwright at Sydney City Recital Hall, toured the UK and Ireland, and curated a captivating variety show series with comedian Rhys Nicholson for Vivid Sydney.
An avowed Star Wars nerd who presents as a 40s movie star, she seems both from a long time ago and a galaxy far away, while speaking directly to the present. Georgia Mooney’s music is intricate, handcrafted, and richly melodic. Influences from Joni Mitchell, the Great American Songbook, and even classical composers permeate her songs, alongside production that evokes the unsettling genius of Kate Bush.
Her ribald stage banter has led to frequent comparisons to Phoebe Waller-Bridge, making it no surprise that Georgia is captivating audiences everywhere.
"It’s nothing short of a triumph.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2" - The Australian
"Full of Moon is a dazzling, inventive pop record: richly textured, captivating and gleefully strange” - NME Australia
"It only takes one listen to lead single “War Romance” to know we are hearing a work of surprise and musical sophistication. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2" - The Big Issue
“…from the first seconds of the album to the last, that same ethereal enchantment occurs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” - The AU Review
"Chock-full with pure cinematic artistry" - Wonderland Magazine
"When she started playing I could immediately understand why the room was packed. She played with a tongue-in-cheek elegance that disarmed everyone instantly. I think everyone fell in love at that show" - Rolling Stone Australia
