Julia Jacklin Essentials

Julia Jacklin Essentials

There’s a powerful gravitational pull to Julia Jacklin’s slow-burn indie pop, drawing us ever closer to the Australian singer-songwriter’s quiet ruminations. Her breakthrough 2016 single “Pool Party” balanced sparse arrangements with her world-weary lyrics and vocals, evoking Patsy Cline more than any contemporary influences. Her yearning delivery has only deepened since then: Observe the wispy lament “Don’t Know How to Keep Loving You,” from 2019’s Crushing, and the Catholicism-inspired “Lydia Wears a Cross,” from 2022’s PRE PLEASURE. Jacklin even turns The Strokes’ anxious 2002 scorcher “Someday” into an unhurried tear-jerker.
