Description

The Julies never got a chance to make a full-length record. After releasing two EPs in the mid-90s, including the acclaimed ‘Lovelife’ EP, they disbanded. Despite that, a devoted fanbase grew around their music, a singular mixture of 80s post-punk and 90s shoegaze and britpop influences. Now, more than 20 years later, The Julies are back to announce the release of their debut full-length ‘Always & Always’. Stylistically, ‘Always & Always’ sees The Julies honoring their long-time influences (the eclecticism of The Cure serving as guidepost) while exploring new sonic territories. And then there’s the grounding that comes from another 25 years of life lived; Chris’s lyrics shift lenses from self-absorption and unrequited love and focus in on living a happily mundane life in this stilted world we inhabit together – all without sacrificing the widescreen emotion the band is known for.
