George FitzGerald returns with first new music in two years, "The Ladder"

"The Ladder" follows standalone singles “Gild”, “Incomplete Dreaming” and “Gleams” released in 2024, and is said to introduce a new chapter for the electronic musician. The track, which draws from early-2000s dance music, first started coming together during a session with electronic musician and producer Ghost Culture near Glastonbury, before being completed by FitzGerald at his studio in south-east London.

Speaking about the song, FitzGerald says: “I’m a child of that era, and this track echoes many of the proggy sounds I love from that period. There’s an arc to it: it builds slowly to an emotional high and doesn’t immediately show you its hand. Those are qualities I love in that music, and they’re what I wanted to capture with 'The Ladder'.”
