juliaweldon Julia Weldon New York On the verge of starting her next album, Brooklyn indie-folk-pop artist Julia Weldon instead found herself awaking from a coma after a gender affirming surgery. One year later after a fortunate recovery and songs to tell the story, the self-taught, nationally recognized musician went across the pond to England to record her new material with Drew Morgan (producer of Perfume Genius). As a follow-up to her critically acclaimed album, Light Is A Ghost, Weldon describes her new work as a contemplation of polarities: heartbreak and new love, connection and loss, life and death. Her reflections on mortality and feelings of being both "Cursed and Blessed," as one of her songs is titled, are especially present and poignant in her work post-coma. Light Is a Ghost is produced by Saul MacWilliams (Ingrid Michaelson, Dan Romer) and features Adam Christgau (Sia, Tegan and Sara) on drums. The album showcases Weldon’s storytelling, voice, and unmistakable charisma. Weldon tours nationally and her music has been featured in The Village Voice, Buzz Feed, Bitch Magazine, Autostraddle, AfterEllen, SheWired, The Advocate, Deli Magazine, and The Washington Post. "An almost perfect record." - No Depression Magazine “On her new record ‘Light Is a Ghost,’ singer-songwriter Julia Weldon acts as… every good dream that’s worth preserving after the alarm clock goes off.” -The Deli NYC “New York-based singer-songwriter Julia Weldon might be the most soulful singer you’ve never heard of.” -The Advocate “One of the primary keys to being a good and successful singer/songwriter is the ability to be honest. Stories, emotional arcs, none of this means a thing if it’s clear the artist is just putting on airs for a given occasion, playing something because it might create a cynically predetermined effect on the audience. None of this ever feels like a problem for Julia Weldon.” -The Washington Times juliaweldon’s tracks Til The Crying Fades by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:45Z When You Die by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:46Z Failed To Find by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:48Z Take It All Back by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:50Z Everybody Says by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:51Z Take Me To The Water by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:52Z You Want It by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:53Z Soon ii by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:54Z Cursed and Blessed by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:55Z Comatose Hope by juliaweldon published on 2017-04-18T02:28:56Z
