    Product Notes

    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.
