If you’re not in love right now - an album to fall in love with, until then. »

The quietly stunning 'Julia With Blue Jeans On' is the fourth Moonface release, bringing a degree of intimacy and self-reflection unlike anything Krug has produced to date. There are only two sonic elements on this latest album: Spencer Krug's voice and his piano. Richly recorded, they interact seamlessly with one another. On the opening track, 'Barbarian', the piano unfolds with the hypnotic energy of Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert, Krug's right hand doubling his vocal melody. On the closing track 'Your Chariot Awaits', Krug's voice recedes after a minute as the piano swells for an extended showcase with modern classical undertones.
