Julia, Julia, the solo moniker of Julia Kugel of The Coathangers (and Soft Palms), will release her solo debut LP next month -- Derealization, which comes on Sept. 30 through Suicide Squeeze Records.

The new album is more explorative and atmospheric, when compared to Kugel's work with The Coathangers, on full display in the lead single, which was shared this week. Both projects are comparatively raw, albeit in different ways, as Julia, Julia is more emotional and introspective whereas The Coathangers explore the raw energy of rock 'n' roll.

Track listing:

1. I Want You

2. Forgive Me

3. Impromptu

4. Fever In My Heart

5. Words Don't Mean Much

6. Do It Or Don't

7. No Hard Feelings

8. Big Talkin'

9. Paper Cutout

10. Where Did You Go

11. Corner Town

Live Dates

8/28 - Long Beach, CA @ Happy Sundays Fest

Nosebleed Weekend
Suicide Squeeze (2016)

A lot of the bands I listen to have gotten older and slowed their productivity so it’s nice to realize that The Coathangers are already releasing their fifth album even it’s already been a decade for the Atlanta-formed trio. On Nosebleed Weekend the band takes a bit of a curve toward a cleaner, less challenging sound, even if it’s just … Read more

Suck My Shirt
Suicide Squeeze (2014)

This Atlanta trio caught my attention with Larceny & Old Lace a couple of years ago, and Suck My Shirt is a continuation of that sound. It shifts into hypnotic, rhythmic patterns and eschews melodies at times, instead just shouting their fury over the beat while discordant guitars clash away. It’s not noise rock—there’s still a firm focus on structure and tonal pleasantries—instead, it’s … Read more
