Seven albums into a mission initially inspired by the likes of Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Spacemen 3, Italy’s Julie’s Haircut now find themselves at a new plateau of small-hours elucidation and revelation that may summon the spectres of the wayward squall of Mercury Rev, the shamanic allure of Dead Skeletons or the wild soundscapes of Amon Duul II to some, yet essentially sounds like no-one but themselves.
Their latest album, Invocation And Ritual Dance Of My Demon Twin will be released via Rocket Recordings on the 17th February.
“Salting Traces” follows the gorgeous first single, “Gathering Light” which has received numerous plays from Lauren Laverne and Gideon Coe on BBC6 Music, and Loud and Quiet described it as “the pleasingly mellow end of the psych rock spectrum.”
