Pre Pleasure

Julia Jacklin

Dry, close-mic vocals meeting unexpected drum machines and lush Montreal strings. A sharp, patient record about the messy friction of being a person.

A sharp, patient interrogation of the self wrapped in warm, analog comfort.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the driving drum machine on 'Lydia Wears a Cross' contrasts with the religious imagery and Jacklin's soft, questioning delivery.
The sudden, cathartic explosion of distorted guitars and drums halfway through the otherwise steady 'I Was Neon'.
The hauntingly sparse arrangement of 'Less of a Stranger' where the guitar seems to mimic the hesitation in her voice.
