Just had this great little track dropped into our Sound Cloud Dropbox. Softly beautiful and mellow, it evokes feelings of late night firesides under starry skies. From the Cannes born Julie Peel, this is taken from her debut solo album with Near the Sun which is released on American Laundromat Records (ALR) on September 22.

“Most of the tracks were first takes,” Julie notes, which manifests itself in a sense of both immediacy and intimacy throughout the album. The undeniably catchy track ‘Living in a Movie,’ replete with irresistible hand-claps, seems sent straight from the soundtrack to a film by Michel Gondry or Sofia Coppola. A sweet and somehow cinematic tune that demonstrates Julie’s capability to craft pop songs at once familiar and dream-like, deceptively minimal, ‘Living in a Movie’ is just one of the songs off Near the Sun that compels repeated listens.
