Jacklin, Julia: Crushing (CD)

Australia’s Julia Jacklin releases the follow up to her debut album, produced by Burke Reid (who’s worked with Courtney Barnett) at The Grove Studios.

This sounds like a classic ‘70s female singer-songwriter album that should be blasting out of the 8-track player of an open-top car on a Californian freeway. It’s got a country kick, a shimmering Rhodes piano and is something that will be counted as a ‘classic’ in years to come (and indeed now - get it on your turntable).
