Julia commented: “Thinking about my own nostalgia makes me wonder, how much do I actually long for the real thing? How much of what I remember, I make up? This song happens in the 80s, when life was like a music video and everybody lived in New York lofts.”
JULIA MARCELL’s upcoming album Skull Echo was recorded in Berlin with producer Michael Haves, drummer Thomas Fietz and bassist Thomsen Slowey Merkel. Mostly electronic, the record features a huge, cinematic sound, sweeping pop melodies and futuristic production, but the subject matter is very intimate and emotional.
Julia about the project: “Skull Echo is a story about time, perception and loneliness. About heads in which we are trapped, building our image of the world through our senses – full of uncertain information, selectively remembered and freely transformed. It is a story of longing for another person.”
Along with music came an idea for a film. The topics discussed on the album inspired Julia to write a screenplay for a feature with the same title, which she is currently developing with film producer Natalia Grzegorzek from Koskino.
