MADE IN BLACK AMERICA COMMON ft AB-SOUL

Joel St. Julien
Every Rise EP
Release Date / March 4, 2016


This is the first of two upcoming releases from San
Francisco composer Joel St. Julien. St. Julien has been
building a name for himself as a composer for dance,
film and other media for the past 5 years. Prior to
that, he released albums on the now defunct Sounds
Are Active label, with his former band, Ellul.
St. Julien created the songs that make up his latest
work in between composing dance and film scores,
sound design projects, and other commissioned
pieces. Writing songs is a homecoming and this EP
solidifies his mastery of the art. This album is about
being let down and having absolutely no way out
other than acceptance. Embarking on a fusion of
off-beat rhythms, hushed vocals and ethereal
soundscapes, St. Julien sits comfortably with musical
syncretists such as Panda Bear, Stereolab, Dirty
Projectors, but also gives nods to experimental artists
like Tim Hecker and William Basinski. The album
was written, produced and mixed in his one-bedroom
apartment in San Francisco after his daughter was
fast asleep. Another solid work in his catalog and a
transport into the sonic world St. Julien creates for
his listeners.

Press

"With elements of great beauty balanced by sharp
segments of abrasion, this score may have sounded to
many live attendees like nothing they had ever heard
before: the otherworldly breaking through to the
surface world...This is music for dance ~ but more
importantly, this is music for struggle, a soundtrack
to the war within." - a closer listen
