Julia Jacklin announces new album 'PRE PLEASURE'

Following on from the release of her highly-praised 2019 sophomore LP 'Crushing', Julia Jacklin has now announced her plans for a new studio album, arriving in the coming months.

The new full-length 'PRE PLEASURE' is being previewed by the new lead single 'Lydia Wears A Cross', which comes accompanied by a stunning self-directed video, and is set to be released on the 26th August via Transgressive.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, “The song is about a lot of things but mainly being a 7yr old Jesus Christ superstar fanatic attending catholic school trying to figure out which way is up. The music video was filmed by my constant collaborator and friend Nick Mckk at Splitpoint lighthouse. I played a show close by recently and asked on stage if anyone could let me film inside. Someone in the crowd knew a guy and that was it. The rest was filmed in the streets of Northcote, Melbourne.”
