“‘Julie’ had a long evolution with many working versions,” Horsegirl explain. “We wanted to share some early recordings to provide insight into how much songs evolve during the process of making a record. This song describes the experience of infatuation and uncertainty — vulnerability takes a different shape in each version of the song. It was first written on an acoustic guitar, an instrument which was ultimately eliminated from the final recording. The song’s evolution reflects the playfulness of our recording session with Cate and our growth as songwriters while making Phonetics On and On.”
As part of the release, Horsegirl are releasing a seven-inch Julie In Twos vinyl, now available for preorder.
