...it’s music that feels widescreen and ambitious, embodying both the freedom that comes with independent musicianship and walker's long-honed nous as a songwriter" the quietus, april 2021.//
- resigned to heartbreak, ‘</3’ is a personal journey through emotions, its narrative told with experimental electronics and classic songwriting.//
- this builds on 2020’s debut ep ‘y?’, the next stage in julia-sophie’s evolution. more adventurous, more personal, “pop” in its loosest terms. the experimental made accessible.//
