Julien Baker - Little Oblivions (February 26, 2021; Matador) Album • Page 62

I drove 5 hours to see her in Wisconsin tonight and I’m so glad I did. No artist has ever meant more to me.

 

Love it. If there’s any artist deserving of a five hour drive, it’s Julien Baker.

 

As Jimmy said, and to get sentimental post-two-shows, Julien is the most important musician to me. Super grateful for her music and for the fortune of meeting so many of you thanks to her. Love y’all.

 

While I would have loved to hear full band TOTL I’m very happy with the Nite 1 set from Chi instead

 

Also I picked up the zine she’s selling (which I believe is also in her web store) and the introductory essay touches on a lot of the personal/life circumstances that happened during the creation of Little Oblivions. I’d highly recommend it if you’re a fan of her and the album, but heads up that it’s a pretty heavy read.

 

After attending both shows this is my petition once again for Julien to play Riot Fest 2022 please and thank you

 

Ugh I should have bought the zine too along with the album

 

The zine really made me appreciate the album in a new way.

 

Holy hell tonight was amazing. Haven’t seen her live since 2018, and she absolutely killed it.

 

I need to avoid this thread lmao still pressed I got tickets and have to miss it because of harry styles!!

 

The live band is just a whole different experience in the best way. If you have the chance to go to this tour, do it, you will not regret it.

Also it hasn’t been said much but the opener Thao is really great too, the song they play to end their sets is really fun. Dehd, who are on the next leg of the US tour, are also really great too.

 

yeah the thao set in detroit ruled

 

Thao vaguely reminds me of Sleater-Kinney. Also cool that the drummer of Macseal is playing drums for her.

 

holy shit i didn’t realize that. their hair is so long. one of my fave drummers

 

Francesca rules

 

Yeah they came out onstage in Madison and I was like why do you look so familiar, haha

 

gosh, that zine is bleak. it must be so difficult to live in her head.

If anyone wants two free tickets to the Julian Baker show in Portland that's on a Monday let me know. Or if there's anybody that you know who would want them. I don't even care about the price or making a profit because I can't go due to the Harry styles being rescheduled to the same day so I can't go and I'm out of the money anyway so it doesn't really matter to me. Might try to score tickets for the added date the next day

 

Julien Baker fronting a full band is incredible and I’d not be upset if she decided post-rock was the direction of her next venture.

 

Glad to read the positive reviews from y'all. I'm seeing Julien in just a few days!

 

This actually does sound amazing. Even though I think this is her weakest album to date, that does not mean in anyway that I think its a weak record.

 

I really like the album, but she uses the band to push the dynamics live to really great effect.

 

Will definitely have to try and catch a show.
