Man. The new Julie Byrne album just knocks me off my feet, every time. Whispery folky singer-songwriter so good I've not heard since the last great albums by Julie Doiron or Laura Veirs ~ and both have been a while. So stark, so gorgeous.

Have you heard Julie Byrne's live cover of Photobooth by Death Cab? She takes it to another level... there's something about her performances which really gets to me and I usually hate that emo lyrics + folk guitar combo.
― dance cum rituals (Moka), Tuesday, 31 January 2017 18:29 (seven years ago) link
She recently showed up on my release radar, enjoyed it but couldn't figure out if it was the kind of singer songwriter material the world has plenty of already
― niels, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 19:49 (seven years ago) link
Hell no. She's really something else. Give her a shot.

Julie Byrne's "Prism Song" was one of my favourites from 2014, so cool to be reminded me of her now. Will need to check the album out :)

I like her but I wouldn't say she's something else, I'm just a sucker for that kind of stuff (Alela Diane, Marissa Nadler etc.). I prefer Rooms With Walls and Windows but this one is solid too.

Hah I was thinking Julien Baker. I love her.
I also like Julie Byrne but yeah I was actually talking about Baker.
― dance cum rituals (Moka), Wednesday, 1 February 2017 17:41 (seven years ago) link
I'm not much into emo lyrics but her singing is very genuine so I'll buy in... also she's such a good guitar player! I'm yet to hear a live performance of her where she doesn't have a great tone on her guitar.

Hahaha I think Tears on Fire is amazing but I wont fight anyone who thinks otherwise. I've been annoying all my friends with it for the past few weeks.

Tears On Fire sounds like a merger of Wicker-Man style folk with Air. It works, I think.
Currently into Julie Byrne's new one, Robyn, Kid Koala and Rose Elinor Dougall (ex Pipettes)

"In a part of Dublin known as the Liberties, which is also where the Vikings settled 1000 years ago, there is a small community of rebel horse owners. And a few years ago, a travelling street musician who goes by the name, "The Musical Slave", accidentally crashed her van into the wall of one of their urban horse yards – and out came a horse and a few boys. One of them brought her for a spin with a horse and two-wheeler, and from that day on she was hooked. She ended up buying her own horse and moving him into the yard...
The Musical Slave is a street musician and storyteller from Bergen, on the west coast of Norway. She plays tropical punk, and sings about love, the forces of nature, and the world economy."

Great lists. Very happy to see some more love for Do It by Rae Morris. I only discovered it when Popjustice made it their single of the year. I've been obsessively watching the video since then.

I came around really late on the Sophia Kennedy album, and then promptly forgot to vote for it in the eoy poll (despite nominating it myself). Hope it places despite me.
