Julie’s journey began in the late 2010s, when high school friends Lee and Pourzand, later joined by Elizabeth, formed the band with a simple goal: play one show. Their sound, born out of teenage discovery, evolved into a raw, experimental force that blends shoegaze with grunge, as heard on their debut album 'my anti-aircraft friend'. With emotionally charged tracks like “clairbourne practice” and “very little effort,” julie creates an intense, cathartic experience, pushing boundaries both musically and artistically.

This five-piece band from London is rapidly emerging as one of the most promising new names in the alternative music scene. With their dreamy, detailed sound and the enchanting yet delicate voice of lead singer Poppy, they create songs that transport listeners to another world. Their second EP 10K, produced by Ben Hillier (Blur, Depeche Mode, Nadine Shah), received acclaim from influential outlets such as BBC Radio 1, Dazed & Confused, and Pigeons & Planes. Frequently likened to adventurous acts like Bar Italia and Maria Somerville, Sunken are poised for a breakthrough, with their highly anticipated debut album set for release early next year.
