julie represent the new, young generation of shoegaze, balancing between accessibility and aggression, unlimited exploration of the limits of instrumental possibilities, sounding at once ethereal and intimate. The band was formed by high school friends. When they recorded their debut single "flutter." in late 2019. they were hoping for 1,000 plays; the song now has more than 37 million on the counter. Their popularity grew during pandemic lockdowns and they only realised it over a year later when crowds flocked to their concert at an art gallery on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Not long after, they embarked on a sold-out US tour and are now preparing to conquer Europe with their freshly released debut album, 'my anti-aircraft friend'. The shoegaze sounds are still present on this latest release, but they have been fused with a range of experimental rock influences and typical grunge grime.
