On July 10, 2024, Julie released their newest single off their debut album "my anti-aircraft friend" called "Clairbourne Practice" that will be released September 13, 2024, via Atlantic Records. Pre-Save here! And make sure you give the song a listen as well as watch the video!
This is what Julie had to say about the song; "It’s two voices conflicting and crashing with each other, unable to understand each other. The way the vocals are layered on top of each other in this song is maybe the most androgynous on the album. But it’s two people saying the same thing and still not hearing each other. We definitely wanted the loud and quiet parts to be polar opposites. Sweet, then destructive, and coming back and repeating the cycle.”
If you watch the video for this release; you can see the darkness which correlates to the lyrics and also the way Julie explained about what the song means. I waited a few days to write this press release because I wanted to see what everyone thought about this song. Personally, this song being sang by two vocalist's and having that grudge and alternative sound to it, I could honestly say that this has became a favorite. The video is also very simple, but fits the aesthetic of the sound of the song. Just constantly going back and forth to the same people in the video which now I understand why they stated its about two voices crashing into each other. "For listeners who came of age amidst global pandemics, tumultuous political climates, and a host of looming natural and social crises, the sound of a band like julie could equally be a cathartic escape, or a shelter in which to locate a better sense of self-acceptance in a precarious world."
Julie will be going on tour and, If you are excited for this album release, I suggest you go and support. Get tickets here!
