Davis tipped me off to Julie and their album my anti-aircraft friend. I know nothing of this band but every review I've read makes sure to mention shoegaze, grunge and maybe even Zoomergaze. I don't know that I disagree with any of the labeling but what I hear is Autolux. That's not a slight, it's the highest compliment. Yes, there's a good deal of genre blending going on but the vibe everyone seems to be going for feels exactly like the vibe I get from Autolux.

I'll even go as far as to say that Autolux formed in 2001 and released their first official album in 2004. It's entirely possible that the members of julie were influenced by it. I sure hope so because there's nothing wrong with a world filled with Autolux influenced bands.

TLDR: great new record from julie. Go listen ASAP.
