Harmonised backing vocals and crisp guitar riffs orchestrate a country pop arena of colour and contemplation. Blue Julius master the songwriting space once again, with the mighty poetic sentiments and scenes, of a beautifully enchanting Is The Bloom Off The Rose.
Featuring the lush vocals of Dani Stacy, we’re guided by raspy and intimate singing, through a journey noting multiple country and Americana references, in relaying a metaphorical to literal tale of working hard to hold on to the remnants of a dying relationship.
Upbeat and even euphoric at its peak, Is The Bloom Off The Rose is unique and literary by design, but the concept and melody are broadly relevant. The song rises and resolves brilliantly, with strong guitar riffs and rhythms capturing a live band essence that’s intoxicating. We’re almost in the territory of Nothing Breaks Like a Heart, only the output is softer, the emotion raw, and the live sound genuinely distinct and indicative of the true creative roots of Blue Julius.
An artistic powerhouse amidst the indie music scene, Blue Julius continues to lead with songwriting charm and intention, a purposeful approach, backed by snappy and memorable riffs, melodies, resolves, and rhythms, for yet another indie gem that’s emotional, memorable, and compelling to fall into.
