Pre Pleasure (CD)
Julia Jacklin
Amoeba Review
Julia Jacklin’s Pre Pleasure is a quietly compelling collection of songs that’ll shake up your psyche in all the best ways. The melodies are moving and intimate, the lyrics smart and specific. Here you’ll find tales of young girls enamored with religion, romance mixed with fear, and familial relationships weighted down with both baggage and love. The talented cast of musicians Jacklin performs alongside on the album include The Weather Station’s Ben Whiteley (bass) and Will Kidman (guitar), while Arcade Fire’s Owen Pallett created the string arrangements, which were recorded by a full orchestra in Prague. Pre Pleasure is just pure pleasure, with all its dreamy highs and despairing lows.
