JULIA JACKLIN

the Aussie-born singer/songwriter has made a big impact on us residents - her music courses with the aching current of alt-country & indie-folk, augmented by her undeniable calling cards: her rich, distinctive voice & her playful, observational wit.

Apparently Julia’s plans of being a social worker were put on hold & making music became the dream upon hearing a trio of amazing musicians: the striking wit & lyricism of Fiona Apple, the guitar skills of Anna Calvi & the vocal delivery of Angel Olsen. It's the latter reference that comes most to mind throughout this record for sure but where Angel delivers a noirish folk, jacklin's craft is an antipodean americana. she's equally at home with solitary strummed guitar porch songs as she is amongst the arrid Aussie landscape - drawing on the vast flat expanses of New South Wales to build soaring aural road-trips."evokes a millennial Gillian Welch" - guardian.
