Julia Brown - Snow Day (Official Music Video)

Last year, Sam Ray (of Ricky Eat Acid and Teen Suicide) released the first and perhaps last full-length under his Julia Brown moniker, An Abundance Of Strawberries. It was the follow-up to 2013’s To Be Close To You, and was distributed at first only by sending him an email and, later, via a Dropbox link. Receiving it felt personal and special in a way that getting most albums nowadays does not, which fit with the intimate nature of the music itself. But the record’s too good to stay a rarity, and I’m happy to see that it’s getting a physical and wide digital release via Joy Void Recordings early next year, which will hopefully draw an even bigger audience. To celebrate, there’s a new Linnea Nugent-directed video for “Snow Day,” which you can watch via Spin below.
