Radiance Opposition by Julie's Haircut

Radiance Opposition is the tenth album by Julie's Haircut, one of Italy's
most enduring independent musical outfits: a band that has developed a genuine sonic catalogue through the years and which makes a renewal move with this record, their first full length since 2019.

With a title taking inspiration from the I Ching book of divination, and a six piece lineup introducing new singer and songwriter Anna Bassy joining the consolidated team formed by Nicola Caleffi, Luca Giovanardi, Andrea Rovacchi, Andrea Scarfone and Ulisse Tramalloni, Radiance Opposition collates an eight tracks cycle that generates a consistent yet multifaceted musical journey, combining psychedelia, electronica and polyrhythms - all blended together thanks to a syncretic vision juxtaposing apparently irreconcilable factors.

None of this is more evident, perhaps, than in the opener I Can See The
Light, with its sudden yet flowing shift from a dark pulsating preamble to an invigorating, hypnotic coda; or in the transition from the stoner-drenched heavy chthonic blues of Extinction Of The Sun to the liquid nocturnal moods of closing piece 6AM Carpet Candlelight.
But it is the whole record that finds a rare balance, with tracks melting deep atmospheres and summoning vocals (Spring Moon, To The Sacred Mantle), synth-driven shapes and dynamic cadences (Unit Circle, Wounds), noise textures and evoking chants (The Earth Knows) - all of them making the album a cohesively transformative experience.
Nestled in a visual frame by contemporary artist Zoë Croggon suggesting an aura of ritualistic tension and mystique, Radiance Opposition sets Julie's Haircut in a renovated form, at once rooted in their history and rushed to a creative renascence.

The album is released by Superlove in EU and Weird Beard in the UK.
