Hey y’alls! I’m taking care of Bailey for a few days. She is a sweetie unless you are squirrel. The second and final single, Porter (10,000 Men Named George) from GEORGE - Looking for Consonance (OOYH 044) is OUT NOW!

Here is more info on this piece: The subtitle comes from an revealing film called 10,000 Black Men Named George, which tells the story of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters — the first Black-led labor union to receive a charter in the American Federation of Labor. Their fight wasn’t just about wages; it was about dignity, recognition, and justice in a system built on racial exploitation.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, thousands of Black men worked as Pullman porters on luxury railroad sleeping cars designed by George Pullman, who founded the Pullman Company and a company town in Chicago.

Passengers often called the porters “George” — after George Pullman — regardless of the men’s real names. Many were also called “boy.”
This wasn’t harmless. It echoed slavery, when enslaved people were stripped of their names and renamed after enslavers.

Pullman porters routinely worked up to 400 hours a month, endured low pay, long shifts, and constant racial humiliation — all while being expected to provide impeccable service. Yet these men organized, resisted, and changed American labor history.

Link in our bio to listen, and head to Bandcamp for LP, CD, and digital. Album release date is May 8, but all merch is in stock and shipping early (hot pink vinyl going very fast!). GEORGE is John Hollenbeck, Anna Webber, Chiquita Magic, and Sarah Rossy. @flexatone @akwebber @chiquitamagic @ara_ossy

“When the band nails down its unique blend of vintage funk and futuristic electronica GEORGE’s energy is as infectious as a perfect pop tune. “ —Pitchfork

Awesome new photos + all album art/design by TJ Huff.

I’m very happy to announce the May 8th release of Looking for Consonance on Out of Your Head Records, the 2nd full-length recording from GEORGE

From my liner notes:
“…this record is about looking—about aspiration—about hope. I realized a few years ago that most of my music is either an experiment or an aspiration, and this one is both.”
At a time when so much feels fractured, this music feels like my small attempt to search for alignment, clarity, and community. I hope it gives you some essential "nutrients."
