Great Area is a solo act by visual artist Georgie Nettell. Her visual works deal with an ironic twist on nostalgia or counterculture, often juxtaposing each with the names or logos of brands in order to critique the degree to which consumer capitalism influences our lives. Her brand of wry, cynical interrogation of different parts of mundane daily life is present all over Light Decline. Despite how uplifting and airy the synths feel, the lyrics and way that the lyrics are sung has an almost oppressiveness to it. In this way her audio art matches her visual art. Great Area lives in London with previous releases Good Coding and Love released on Lolina's (aka Inga Copeland) Relaxin Records *** Joining her is PILLBERT, the project of Munich-born singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist and producer Lilian Mikorey. Drawing from outsider music, ambient sound layers, and alternative pop, she embraces DIY production methods and frequently incorporates field recordings to further her tender sonic world-building. *** supported by Kulturkommission Josefstadt.
