Jacklin has risen to prominence following her performances at SXSW and The Great Escape as well as the release of her debut single ‘Pool Party’. The single was B-listed at BBC 6 Music and also picked up support from BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Annie Mac. Most recently Julia shared a self-directed video for the album track ‘Leadlight’, which picked up lots of blog support including the track of the week on London In Stereo who described it as “dramatic and confident, all underscored by her rich vocal and witty lyrics”.

Hailing from the Australian Blue Mountains, Julia Jacklin’s music courses with the aching current of alt-country and indie-folk, augmented by her undeniable calling cards: her rich, distinctive voice, and her playful, observational wit. For the past several years Jacklin has lived in a garage in Glebe (a suburb of Sydney), working a day job on a factory production line making essential oils, all the while finding time to hone her craft – to examine her turns of phrase, to observe the stretching of her friendship circles, to wonder who she was and who she might become. And now, as Jacklin quits her factory job to focus solely on a music career, the future she had once imagined is becoming her present day reality. Recorded at New Zealand’s Sitting Room Studios with Ben Edwards (Marlon Williams, Aldous Harding, Nadia Reid), Don’t Let The Kids Win is an intimate examination of a life still being lived and is a masterful debut.
