Georgia Gets By is the solo moniker of New Zealand musician Georgia Nott, best known as the lead vocalist of the electronic pop duo Broods. Launched in 2023, the project represents a deliberate pivot away from the maximalist, stadium-ready production of her previous work toward a more insular, guitar-centric sound.
Drawing from 90s indie rock and contemporary dream pop, the project focuses on themes of self-actualization, heartbreak, and the nuances of human connection. Musically, it is defined by clean, melodic guitar lines, minimalist percussion, and Nott's signature breathy vocal delivery, which is often layered to create a shimmering, atmospheric effect. Critically, the project has been praised for its vulnerability and its successful transition from the pop mainstream to the indie underground. It sits within a modern lineage of 'sad girl' indie rock, sharing sonic DNA with artists like Sun June and Jane Penny, while maintaining a uniquely New Zealand sense of space and melancholy. The project's evolution shows a move toward more experimental, lo-fi textures as seen in later releases like 'Split Lip'.
