This is more of a personal bit on how I got into them. My older brother, who I take a lot of inspiration on music from, showed me them in 2023 and their album “Pushing daisies“. the sound immediately pulled me in with the production, instrumentals, and sad but energetic vocals. My personal favorites from that album has to be “lochness” and “skipping tiles“. As far as how they continued after that their singles “pg. 4 a picture of three hedges/through your window” I believe were absolute bangers along with the most recent “my anti-aircraft friend“. I know a lot of inspiration from them also comes from sonic youth and it sounds like the best parts come together of great shoegaze bands. Another fun aspect I will always appreciate the art on any of the covers as well as the whole aesthetic of Julie. I love how messy but articulated the art evolves into and how Julie is drawn.
