Julia Marcell - short bio:
My name is Julia and I write songs - that’s what I do most of the time when I don’t sing. So out of these made up little tunes sometimes something worthwhile is born and these are what I call classical punk songs. Classical because of my intentions, punk because of the execution. Mostly they are stories - I write them simple to make sure everyone gets them, but still not too simple to make sure everyone gets them in a different way. These songs-stories are very different from each other, so to balance things out, I like to have modest instrumentation - natural, organic sounds of wood, string, finger hitting a piano key and voice whispering, cracking, breathing - this is the world of sounds that excites me.
In October 2007 I reached 50k on Sellaband.com – a website where people invest money in future albums of independent artists. Thanks to the money of 657 people I recorded my debut album in Berlin with producer Moses Schneider and it came out fantastic - raw and full of energy, recorded live with all the room sounds, accidents and mistakes. If you get ready for this meeting, it might like you. For good.
