Fandcamp: Over and Even
“It unfolds in beauty more and more, lyrics by lyric, song by song, melody by melody. It makes me want to move to Kentucky.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DAVID JAMES ALLEN
“Walk daily. Go scope out some trails in a forest near you or just walk around the block for 30 to 60 minutes. Its a good way of awakening your mind and getting fresh air pumping through your lungs.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ LEWIN
“I think everyone should carry around a little notebook, sit down every now and then and take the time to write down their thoughts. It’s helped me calm down, reflect, find new perspectives on things and has been an inspiration for many songs.”
FANDCAMP: Plain Speaking
“Scallops Hotel is the building. It's architect, a priest. The antithesis of a dark, nihilistic clown. He wields his flows like they were phoenix downs.”

Submithub - Not A Scam | #HIFIVEFOR

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ COW
“I’d simply recommend that people try to get more involved with their local music scene, there is usually far more going on than it would seem, and you’ll meet some really interesting people. Go out and be a part of something, there’s nothing to lose and plenty to gain.”
FANDCAMP: Crushing
“This is an incredible record! Julia writes powerfully human songs that I feel so grateful to enjoy.”
