Julia Jacklin–Crushing

This is one of the most devastating albums I’ve heard in a while. Julia Jacklin’s songs remind us of the damage we do to each other when we’re trying to learn how and whom to love. After listening to this album straight through, I always feel like I’ve woken from a vivid dream with an emotional hangover. There are a lot of similarities in sound to Sharon von Etten’s Tramp, but this earns its own space with honest and effective songwriting.
