Vol.2 [LP]

Needle drop and a floaty, child-like piano linesucks you into the post-punk papier-mâchéworld of JJULIUS, where everyone speaksSwedish, listens to Young Marble Giants andeats nothing but Twizzlers.Vol. 2 is, perhaps obviously, a continuation ofthe world-building done on Vol. 1, which is alittle more raw, a little wilder in spirit and soldout at both source and every record store thatmanaged to get it's hand on a copy. It will alsore-arrive this summer on DFA this summer withit's successor.JJULIUS is the nom de plume of Gotebörg'sJulius Pierstorff, who, with his wife Elin Engströmaka Loopsel, also records as Monokultur andruns the tiny label Mamma's Mysterious Jukebox.The music they make both together andseparately is entirely their own, with it's own rulesof what instruments come and go; when a songbegins and ends or swells into oblivion. And yet!It's also referencing all the records we love andknow - Suicide, all the no wave stuff, Faust, Can,Sonic Youth, and even contemporary local peerslike Mathaverskan.Buy the ticket, take the trip.
