Today, Melbourne based singer-songwriter Phoebe Go (Snakadaktal, Two People) has released her highly anticipated debut LP Marmalade and focus track ‘Good Fight’ out now everywhere.
With over 10 years of experience in the music industry under her belt after being thrown in the deep end at only 15 years old, Phoebe’s debut LP Marmalade is a record about losing comfort and the process of finding it again, or at least finding your feet to go looking for it again. “It’s all pretty raw” Phoebe says of Marmalade, “Working on these songs was an outlet that helped me move forward, which is the whole point I guess. Sometimes it meant recording the songs that I never wanted anyone to hear. I’m really proud and I’m really happy.”
Featuring recent singles ‘Something You Were Trying’, ‘7 Up’, ‘Leave’ and ‘Stupid’, the 8-track record is hauntingly beautiful and radiantly raw, and it’s Phoebe’s poignant storytelling that keeps you hanging on to every lyric. Album focus track ‘Good Fight’ offers some of the most honest moments on the record – a perfect example of how Phoebe perfectly balances vulnerability with bravery throughout the songs on the record. “‘Good Fight’ is about seeing the end of something when you really don’t want to. It’s like clinging onto a dream and trying to hold the stars in place” Phoebe explains. “This song kinda feels like a montage to me. The idea started with some chords that my friend Chris sent me in a text. I wrote most of it in bed that night”.
To celebrate the release of Marmalade, Phoebe will be playing a run of headline shows along Australia’s east coast in June. Hitting the road with her full band, Phoebe will be taking her intimate and mesmerising live show to Melbourne’s Northcote Social Club, Sydney’s Phoenix Central Park and SILO in Brisbane. Following on from her album tour headline shows, Phoebe will be joining fellow Melbourne based breakthrough act Teenage Dads on their Majordomo headline tour across August + September of this year.
