Julie say of Clairbourne Practice, “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.”
This July, Julie will be supporting Faye Webster for a string of shows across North America, ahead of a larger tour this August supporting Alex G. Julie also have headline shows lined up with support from Hello Mary and Dutch Interior on select dates. Tickets for all shows can be found HERE.
Los Angeles band and art collective Julie exploded onto the scene in 2020 with their single Flutter, which has racked up millions of streams since its release. The band’s genesis, however, goes back to the late 2010s when vocalist and guitarist Keyan Pourzand and drummer Dillon Lee were joined by vocalist and bassist Alex Brady.
Sharing a mutual love of shadowy and adventurous music, the trio played shows with local acts around Orange County in high school before relocating to Los Angeles in 2019 for design school, where they began writing the songs that would make up their impending debut album my anti-aircraft friend. In 2021, Julie released their EP Pushing Daisies, followed by the 2022 double A-side single Pg.4 Picture Of Three Hedges/Through Your Window. My Anti-Aircraft Friend is a bold step forward, showcasing a louder and more assured band who have developed their core sound.
