Julia Jacklin eases us into the weekend with her new tune and official video for ‘Leadlight’ today! Following on from the recently released ‘Pool Party’, Jacklin creates a serene aural tapestry which draws on a heady mix of alt-country and indie-folk to compliment her stunning voice and to ultimately create stark and contemplative music. Speaking of the official video, Jacklin notes “I filmed this music video in my old high school hall in the Blue Mountains. A lot of the shots focus on the stage where I performed in the chorus for ‘Grease’ and ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ and the unfortunate time I chose to sing ‘Wonderwall’ to a backing CD for a senior assembly. I went back there recently and saw the hall in a whole new light. When I was at school I never really thought about it, it was just a boring school hall that I was forced to sit in for long assemblies and exams. Now I think it’s a really beautiful space.”
‘Leadlight’ is available now. Her LP ‘Don’t Let The Kids Win’ is out on October 7.
