Julian Never announces first single from upcoming LP

>> Julian Elorduy has been making music since he was fifteen, moving from the noise-soaked chaos of Mayyors to the jangling indie-pop of Fine Steps and, later, the more solitary reflections of Pious Fiction as Julian Never. His new album, Everyday is Purgation awakens on the other side of a Dark Night of the Soul drawing on the writings of mystic, St. John of the Cross—stripping away comforting narratives in order to see what remains with a clearer, more ascetic eye. It’s Julian at his most exposed, shaped equally by the underground that raised him and the melodic pop that continues to haunt him. 

"Julian Never’s jangle, all-chiming balladry power pop poetry is one of our favourite revelations in the past few months. [...]Full of heart and heat, Julian Never’s vocal is equipped with a turn of phrase reminding us a little of Jack Tatum of Wild Nothing but not afraid to bear his heart, allowing the vocal range to arch upwards into a delightful upper register." -Monorail Music
