People Are Strange

A 15 track soul album (40m 39s) — released April 14th 2023 on Tru Thoughts

'People Are Strange' is the debut album from Sharky (AKA Georgia Mason). Pushing the surreal and ambiguous into the realm of experimental, the album is the result of shared musical understanding between Sharky and producer/husband Todd Speakman, stuck in their London flat during lockdown, as perfectly embodied in focus track "Concret". Bubbling with a stifled frustration and need to run wild, Sharky delights at the idea of a pigeon flying into her head; "sometimes you just need a pigeon that will do that, and someone that will let it". The sarcastic despondency of "Concret" filters through to the track's unintentionally French title - missing an 'e' because Sharky couldn't be bothered to add it.

'People Are Strange' features previous singles "Shark"– a smutty love song eclipsed under the analogy of a horny shark circling beneath the surface - the swirlingly imaginative "Night on my Mind" featuring Alex White (Fat White Family), and "Sad Songs". The tracks showcase the intricate dreamlike layering present in Sharky's song writing. They have seen support from the likes of Sian Eleri (BBC Radio 1), Jamz Supernova (BBC 1Xtra), Lauren Laverne, Don Letts (BBC 6Music), Jess Iszatt (BBC Radio London), Clash, Stereofox and Soho Radio.
