FitzGerald's musical adventures started in the mid-2000s when he was employed at the London record store Black Market Records, the beginning of a formative period during which he consumed "more music than at any point" during his life. Naturally, these years through his teens and early 20s refined both his preferences as a consumer of music and similarly the signatures of his early output after a move to Berlin in 2010. Releases first came on Hotflush Recordings and ManMakeMusic, before he debuted on Aus Music and Hypercolour. Meanwhile, both his albums appeared on Double Six Recordings.
For this month's Influences podcast, FitzGerald reflects on his early years in the British capital and selects some of his favorite records from this period-compiling a playlist, of sorts, of the tracks that stand out in his mind from the many that he consumed during this period. Given the soft, sensitive nature of much of FitzGerald's work, it's little surprise that the likes of Portishead, Thom Yorke, and Orbital make appearances-logical points of reference, you feel. Among these are some more unforeseen entries, the result being a gentle, thought-provoking listen that'll draw your focus back in with a few surprises along the way..
