Pedro Bird I am a newbie to this genre, so I cannot tell what is hot, but this album seems to tickle my likes. I like the variation and rhythms seem to flow well into each other. It gives me a calming vibe Favorite track: Bellarose.

Marmalade 03:57
We walked away together moving a little bit fast for the weather I drove my car forever we made every bit last for whatever state borders, miles apart right at the end we start anew I nearly lost my name sweet orange marmalade, it's you I chose to keep my distance thought it was temporary but it isn't the path of least resistance was a waste of my time now we both live with choices that we've made state borders, miles apart right at the end we start anew I nearly lost my name sweet orange marmalade, it's you (x2) I remember falling in love (x4)

Take all you've loved Out the window wake no one up from their pillow surely you've had where you came from you're welcome back but you won't come you have your plane to catch, you never wasted time stayed way too long to leave it in a place like mine

You're well traveled yes You've brought three worlds progress Says your resume Your pity and your care It changed your life but how has it changed theirs? Be it electric cars or soldiers based on mars You've freedom where your gravy goes Draped in red a working man is dead Who's guilty no one cares to know But you know wrong from real And how you're taught to feel Competition's friend Sow the word of Clergymen say, we live life just for pleasure why should I wait, if it's only forever Live by your age To submit to its power How many serfs built this ivory tower But you know wrong from real And how you're taught to feel Competition's friend

about

Baltimore’s Julien Chang writes music that tunnels toward a series of deeper truths, investigating everyday existentialism, love and life, art and the artist. Arriving in 2019 with his critically acclaimed album ‘Jules’, Chang set a precedent with his breezy, dreamy debut and is now exacting his focus on 2022 with forthcoming new music.

Chang’s second album ‘The Sale’ testify to his talents as he wrestles with enviable grace across his new 12-track catalogue, the idea of estrangement and the problematics of artistic creation. Chang leans sonically into indie-pop, with guitar-driven instrumentation burbling across punchy drums and his layered, ethereal vocals. Yet the album is still replete with touchstones of the psychedelic popcraft that enamoured listeners on his debut.

Recorded partially in his hometown of Baltimore and partially in his dorm room at Princeton, his new album ‘The Sale’ is a homegrown effort with Chang playing all instruments, bar the odd exception of a few notable cameos from Baltimore locals, classmates and old friends. Following his debut ‘Jules’ - which saw Chang earn praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Fader, The Guardian, NME, Loud & Quiet, DIY, Billboard alongside support from BBC Radio 1 & 6Music via Annie Mac Jack Saunders and Jamz Supernova - his new LP explores the discrepancy between two worlds, a struggle to get comfortable in either one of them, and ultimately an artistic fascination with this very struggle.

A statement of intent from an artist who promises to be an important rising voice of our times, Chang's new album ‘The Sale’ is released 4th November on Transgressive Records on limited edition vinyl and CD.
