Vol.2

Needle drop and a floaty, child-like piano line

sucks you into the post-punk papier-mâché

world of JJULIUS, where everyone speaks

Swedish, listens to Young Marble Giants and

eats nothing but Twizzlers.

Vol. 2 is, perhaps obviously, a continuation of

the world-building done on Vol. 1, which is a

little more raw, a little wilder in spirit and sold

out at both source and every record store that

managed to get it's hand on a copy. It will also

re-arrive this summer on DFA this summer with

it's successor.

JJULIUS is the nom de plume of Gotebörg's

Julius Pierstorff, who, with his wife Elin Engström

aka Loopsel, also records as Monokultur and

runs the tiny label Mamma's Mysterious Jukebox.

The music they make both together and

separately is entirely their own, with it's own rules

of what instruments come and go; when a song

begins and ends or swells into oblivion. And yet!

It's also referencing all the records we love and

know - Suicide, all the no wave stuff, Faust, Can,

Sonic Youth, and even contemporary local peers

like Mathaverskan.

Buy the ticket, take the trip.
