This is a song I recorded on my iPhone. Call this a practice in releasing the imperfect and sharing the songwriting process. Copy Right Julia Klee.

The storm

Nothing here is polished. Just iPhone recordings until the songs present their voice. 

Shotgun Kissing is about loving someone who lives with incredible demons… coming face to face with that  glimmer of a human, trapped beneath their afflictions, and saving yourself when things get dark.

Big Charade

Jules Klee is an Americana songwriter with a voice that can quiet a dive bar — and carry
it. 

With a “come to cry” style that draws comparisons to Emmylou Harris and Neko Case, Klee’s band brings elements of bygone folk and country while making way for a soft soulfulness, sang in earnest. With a rotating cast of players, her songs land a little different each time — on purpose. 

———

Her Album Big Charade was released in 2012, with “Talk” featured in the Ubisoft release Watch Dogs. 

And “Hook Sung By Strangers” featured in the indie film Albion Rose. 

———

“First drafts” are just that. 

In 2017, Klee lost her iPhone with nearly a decades worth of songs to her toddler “giving it a bath” (in the toilet)

Rather than getting too attached to the idea of “finished”, forthcoming singles will first be set free with their imperfections and exposed to listeners mid- process. 

A window into incomplete ideas, and single lines that often write the songwriter, “first drafts” are intended to be sonic photographs. You’re hearing a journal in real time. 

Thanks for listening ❤️
