Julian Lynch

As a member of Ducktails, one would no doubt expect a rather wave washed approach to pop to seep into Julian Lynch's solo work. As such Orange You Glad does trade in a certain gasoline haze that seems to coat much of the Duck's work as well but Lynch sways further from the sunny veneer of coastal jams that flow from Mondanile's guitar. Instead Lynch replaces the rays of euphoria with a calm melancholy overcast that feels as comforting as days spent watching rain on window panes from the dry comfort of a favorite chair. Softly psychedelic and bringing a subtle edge of comfort to the lo-fi landscape, Lynch's songs hit like a feathered hammer just when you need it. Though barbs and edges of gritty guitar occasionally sneak their way through the one cushioning constant is Julian's honey and heat voice that brings sweet relief every time. A welcome addition to the gauzy stable of summer records piling up on the tails of '09.
