September 22nd. Julie's 11-track full-length album has been receiving rave reviews and charting on college and specialty radio.
'Julie Peel is one of the strongest female debuts I've ever heard and will be heavily pushed at WXAC trying to break our Top 10. Thanks for releasing it!' - John Weber (WXAC)
'Listened to Julie Peel's application and was blown away; I had not heard of her before, which is something I love about this job. Count on a 2010 showcase invitation.' - Craig Stewart (SXSW Showcase Mgr.)
'The whole record works as an excellent soundtrack to the changing seasons, happy and upbeat so you can enjoy the weather, but also bittersweet because there is always that lingering feeling that it won't last.' - Taylor Johnston (Music For Kids Who Can't Read Good)
Julie Peel is a French born, self-taught multi-instrumentalist that writes smart well-crafted folk rock with a pop sensibility reminiscent of Aimee Mann, Neil Young, Cat Power, Beth Orton, and Feist. Near The Sun is Julie's first solo full-length release... She recorded, mixed, and produced all the tracks, and plays most of the instruments as well.
'There is something about Peel's hesitant approach to vocals and tempo that really grabs me and makes me pay attention.' - Greg Swan (Perfect Porridge)
'Near The Sun breezes by with casual allure, its lo-fi, guitar-driven pop numbers layered with understated, quirky-but-credible embellishments.' - Charlotte Richardson (Wears The Trousers)
"It generates great excitement when an artist defies the typical expectations... Julie Peel does just that." - FensePost
