Jullian Angel

There’s a very cool break-down toward the end of Checking Your Soul, track ten on Jullian Angel’s second and latest album for Another Record Life Was an Answer, which epitomises “his sound”. The sound of Jullian Angel is very cool because he is a very cool guy. Believe me, I met him. Sure, you may feel the Nick Drake minimalism on Born on the Seventh Day, no mistake. You may also imagine Fairport Convention influences here and there. Myself, I particularly think about Ian Anderson’s voice (Jethro Tull) on Mystic Friend. Am I wrong? Anyway, the strength of Angel’s compositions may have many roots in the traditions of American and Anglo Gaelic folk styles, stripped back post-medieval, but Jullian Angel makes these disparate styles his own.
This second record (released last week) is full of quiet charm and iridescently beautiful songs, and is just too good to miss. Take a moment to listen to it. It’s easy, some of the songs are free to be downloaded on another-record-jullian and the full cd can be purchase for a minimal price of 10 euros here: another-record-shop.
