Julia Jacklin kicks off US tour with blissfully honest performance at Bootleg Theater

Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Andrew Gomez.  By the time Julia Jacklin came on, the Bootleg had filled significantly, and everyone was enjoying themselves. Having already heard her perform a solo acoustic set, it was satisfying to finally hear her now with a full band. The couple next to me seemed to have unlimited access to beer and was making … Continue reading Julia Jacklin kicks off US tour with blissfully honest performance at Bootleg Theater

Her 2015 LP, Apocolypse, girl, was a great introduction to her work, and did make my top albums list of that year. Now she’s back on SnG due to the mastery of … Continue reading Jenny Hval, Feminist Vampire

Noname Fones Home

Soul is a commonly known genre of music, but like most genres, its origins are an amalgam of cultural and personal influences. The term itself suggests a depth that transcends the structure of what we know as soul, which recently has made way for an electronic vein of music that is equally emotionally potent. But noname’s recent mixtape Telefone actually has led me to an … Continue reading Noname Fones Home
