Press For G Flip
"Australian singer-drummer G Flip emerged from behind the kit for a star-making turn on "About You." It's a soaring pop smash that helped make her one of the most buzzed-about acts at this year's South by Southwest festival." - NPR All Songs Considered

"I think G Flip could have a real incredible year. She's a terrific performer. She's a damn good drummer, moves very eloquently around the stage."." - NPR

"With killer pipes and an equally impressive drum solo... her set had all the ingredients of a breakthrough." - Rolling Stone

"A little bit of spiky indie rock, a little bit of blown-out arena-pop and whole lot of charm." - Los Angeles Times

"It's a familiar pop strategy, brewing tension and then breaking it with an amped-up refrain, but G Flip pulls it off effortlessly, like she's already done this a hundred times." -Pitchfork

"Flipo's smooth, multi-tracked vocals can make her sound like all three Haim sisters at once, but the way she builds a rock-solid pop song out of a simple, juicy synth riff aligns her more closely to Grimes. If it took a few albums for Grimes to go right for the throat in her hooks, though, G Flip is already there." - Pitchfork Best New Track

"About You" turned out to be one of the best debuts we've heard in 2018 so far. At its core, it's a full-blown pop song with an impossible-to-forget chorus, but nothing about the song is generic. The drum-centric focus gives it a non-traditional edge, the verses are free and unpredictable, and the four-minute song erupts into an incredible finale." -Pigeons and Planes

"It takes approximately 0.1 seconds to see what the fuss is about." - Idolator

"Best Songs of 2018" -  Gorilla Vs Bear

"Synth-pop perfection that could put her on a path to stardom." - WFUV

"Heavily layered synth-pop from charismatic Aussie drummer/keyboardist/vocalist Georgia Flipo, whose indie-leaning compositions hold all the haziness of Grimes and the heartstrings plucking of Florence Welch." - Austin Chronicle 


G Flip, born Georgia Flipo, fell in love with the drums as a kid and travelled the US as a touring drummer in her early 20s. Never one to sit still, Georgia then locked herself in her bedroom studio for all of 2017 and taught herself how to write and produce her own songs.
 
While incubating her new project, Georgia created a round LED screen for the front of her hand-made kick drum which can display any imagery, video or content that Georgia can dream up. This is Je Ro Mo, G Flip's animated "talking drum kit" - named for Jenny Rose Morrish, her late drum teacher.
 
Her self-produced debut single "About You" is an addictive, bittersweet shard of shimmering pop, inspired by her "hectic, toxic, cinematic" on-off relationship. It was the very first track Georgia pieced together, recorded in a day in her bedroom studio into "a shitty mic from the local pawn shop".
 
G Flip is the real thing: unfiltered, driven and bursting out of her bedroom with ideas to burn.
