is this a renaissance?
everyone's a critic
people's words are so destructive
but the photo's all look so terrific
i have taped up my computer camera
i've been shopping for a Faraday
we're shadow figures
high perched up shooters
it's getting hard to look the other way
one day i read this one
good American reporter
writing from somewhere in Rio de Janeiro
where there's no one trying to pin him
for reporting
they gather all my searches
my Mom's forwards and emails
my WebMD hypchondriacal obsessions
prescriptions, all the details
they think they know me from this
they think they know me from lists
i used to have great powers
i've been sapped of all my energy
and the skyline had mighty towers
they're just pictures in our memories
reflected by the one good American reporter
writing from somewhere in Rio de Janeiro
where there's no one trying to pin him
for reporting

Had the pleasure of helping produce this lovely record. Julian's music is perfect for a sunny morning or afternoon in your pajamas. If you like Paul Simon, Sufjan or Cat Stevens - give it a spin. Will Mitchell
This album and Semi-Rose are both must-listens. Offbeat, colorful, and true. The music is catchy and perfect for fans of interesting vocals such as Eels, Modest Mouse, and Pixies. Will Mitchell
Will has developed his own style through the years, but he's had a sound since the first time I met him - and it continues to this day. For fans of Father John Misty, Lord Huron, and Tom Petty. Will Mitchell
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
