Crushing is one of the greatest albums of the decade. The lyrics are chillingly beautiful and raw. It’s such a personal record that I feel like many artists wouldn’t dare to release and bare their soul like she has. Maybe it was just that this record came out and reached my ears at the perfect time and place but I have an incredibly personal connection with these songs. Julia and her band are a gift to the world. 💚🧡

[@samirasamuels17]

Zach Litchman it’s interesting that you say that, I feel like I was also introduced to this album and her music at the exact time in my life that I needed to be. It will always be super special for that reason. Music is awesome.

[@profd65]

Yea, maybe. But it's a pretty lame decade for music.

[@hejweepeach]

In your box maybe. In my corner there is an abundance of beautiful music. Mostly created by women - and at my time of life it’s a total fuckin delight!

With Julia Jacklin you know you can like the video before it starts no matter what

[@danis7070]

I was there in Perth when she played this album for the first time live. It was the most incredible experience - standing there in the rain, crying with the city lights twinkling behind. And then for her to release a song about our beautiful city a few months ago - man Julia is special. Now I am going through a breakup with my partner of 6 years - this album has been a beacon of hope and understanding - music is so special

[@justingreen9545]

Why are you breaking up? I just ask because it sometimes is nice to have a third or fourth totally innocent perspective, then again you will probably be like “it is not your business or problem, but I just want to help, I have nothing else but to offer a perspective.

[@georgetheopemptou9949]

Yeah , my ex was bi and loved listening to what she made fun of me ' lesbian music ' together - it's really good , if you open spottify and leave this going randomly you'll get some really amazing recommendations too / both happy both sad, both strong both melting

@@garlee15Lee how about Tame Impala, POND, Courtney Barnett, King Gizzard & the Lizzard Wizard, Friggin' AC/DC! But really there are so many good up and comers, and that's what's most worthy of note. Julia here, Stella Donnelly, Rufus Du Sol, Psychadelic Porn Crumpets, Cool Sounds - tons of great indie and punk.

[@timkelly9339]

roasted gareth, brutal stuff

[@fabriccouch]

We have also burdened the world with Dance Monkey - the worst song of the year by far and potentially the decade. The Australian music scene is so commercial that all of our good artists generally have to leave to get the recognition they deserve. If you look at our most recent industry awards night and have and listen to the artists that we recognise as our best you'd be pretty disappointed. These same awards use to honor great Australian music like The Cruel Sea and The Avalanches for example - now they just plug commercial garbage. It would be so good to have a radio station of KEXP's quality down here but unfortunately Australian ears are weak. Our major alternative station plays a plethora of shit Australian music over quality international music because it is Australian made - that is our mentality - homegrown before actual quality. It is infuriating.

[@timkelly9339]

@@fabriccouch her like a version is the most offputting piece of music of the last decade

[@patrickosullivan5615]

How did KEXP know I’ve been listening to this non stop. Crushing is getting me through a divorce and I am forever indebted.

[@JHClimbs]

I’m going through the end of a 9 year relationship and Pressure to Party has really been an anthem for me

[@patrickosullivan5615]

I feel you there. I didn’t think they were gonna play it and when they did my eyes welled up like a dry river bed in a torrential downpour.

[@JamesRone]

Oh, friends. I empathize. I went through the same thing, and the album feels like it eulogizes how I felt when I was right in the middle of it. I wish I could think of something less cliche to say than, "hang in."

[@Mrs.Self.Distruct]

Feel you ♥️

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Her voice in 'Turn Me Down' is absolutely spellbinding.

[@benjaminvera9765]

I hate when i hear about a band, i check when they're going to tour my city and then realize they already came a month ago....

[@bacondumpster9836]

Julia Jacklin was as immaculate as ever, but can we take a moment for both of those rips by the lead guitarist during “I don’t know how to keep loving you”...I mean he completely matched the emotion of her lyrics and voice, it turned that song from one of the best in her discog into one of the best songs I’ve ever heard.

[@CamelSunset]

This. Listened to the recorded version - doesn't compare

[@sallylee3742]

I totally concur... his name is Will Kidman, he played keyboards in beloved Canadian band Constantines... he also had a fun cover band called Horsey Craze that played vintage Neil Young... you can totally hear his love for the master in this song in particular!

[@duninstefan1074]

On the record ,,the guitar solo is so disappointing, just replaying the main theme, here he doesn't go far beyond.this song deserved so much more, soaring into the ether...

[@copaceticetal]

I'm an American who discovered Julia Jacklin through her cover of The Strokes' "Someday" recommended to me through KZbin's algorithm. After listening to 'Crushing' a million times while crying on my long commute to work I'm, I guess, a "ride or die" fan for Julia Jacklin.

[@maplesyrup1122]

This is album is moving & deeply personal. It’s become a part of my daily rituals. This record deserves all of the praise it’s receiving.

[@Constatonks]

Julia Jacklin's lyrics are so powerful and raw. As soon as her first singles dropped for Crushing I knew this one was gonna hit me hard and draw out some emotions I wasn't aware would affect me so much. I actually met my current girlfriend at my first Julia Jacklin concert. So many of her songs resonated with both of us for our own separate reasons and it was crazy how many factors had to come into play for us to even meet each other let alone be standing next to each other on the floor. To add some weirdness factor to that our names are Julian and Julie... crazy.

[@Finjodb]

[@JulesN580]

@@wilson2810 I get it. I used to describe myself as a 'husk that lives on dust'. I reckon that it's important to hear from others who've been thru that mill and come out of the other side, and with time and in my case a fabulous, far more suitable new life partner, feeling truly content. I t will happen, as hard as it may be to imagine.

[@ludwigvonn9889]

Every time i hear the song Dont know how to keep loving you my mind wonders in the same direction: im at a JJ concert and she bumps into me after the gig, and instead of me saying Sorry i just ask her to marry me and she without thinking too much says yes why not... we run away and get married in las vegas and just party for 3 days straight like there is no tomorrow... Man i fell in love with her the first time i heard her sing/talk. Love her band too, the guitarist is top-notch man and the nerd looking drummer is something else lol. Bassist has a crazy vocal range, it seems, just being cool and low key as bassists do :D Julia marry me! Even if its just for 3 days!

[@pickljuis]

julia jacklin makes me so incredibly happy. seeing her live was one of the best experiences of my life she is so incredibly talented

[@rodriogq]

Cheryl's very last remark "i love how you look at heartbreak at a slightly different angle than we're used to hearing" is SO clever, so relevant. Most heartbreak songs I've known of were written by the ones who were left. Don't get me wrong: I never left, I was left. It hurt so so badly. I went through so much. And sure, songs written by people who were left helped me organise my experience and pull through. However, Julia's music gave me another story. I gained a lot of sympathy for their part too. god, how it hurts! And though I still feel gutted when I think of the end, and am unwavering in believing there were so many other steps that could§ve been taken, I'm slowly becoming ready to decide to actively leave someone who won't really see me the way I need to. I guess I'm getting from her music the closure I never really had, and for that I am so, so grateful. will try and love again soon! :)
