Sarah Julia’s music is an exercise in tenderness, bound by sisterhood and defined by a haunting, piercing vulnerability. Their deeply introspective brand of indie folk is forged from a shared childhood: the product of overlapping memories and a communal formative soundtrack that presents itself in the pure vocals that cradle each other in harmony as they delicately address love, heartache and family.
From a young age, they developed a shared love of music – trading album recommendations for the likes of Bon Iver and Ben Howard to expand on the Cat Stevens and Jim Croce their parents raised them on – before they individually began dabbling in making music themselves. But it wasn’t until a significant change in their family occurred that they began intertwining those efforts, seeking a shared catharsis in songwriting.
