Our Take

Ah, Saint Julian, the album that truly solidified Julian Cope as a mystical, madcap genius in the world of music. This eccentric offering is a whirlwind journey through psychedelic landscapes, fueled by Cope's signature blend of introspective lyrics and catchy melodies.

From the infectious energy of "World Shut Your Mouth" to the introspective musings of "Spacehopper," Saint Julian is a rollercoaster ride of emotion. Cope's distinctive vocals soar over jangly guitars and pounding drums, creating a sound that is at once familiar and utterly unique.

The album's production is delightfully raw and unpolished, giving it a charmingly DIY feel that perfectly complements Cope's off-kilter songwriting. Each track is a gem in its own right, showcasing Cope's ability to weave together elements of folk, rock, and psychedelia into a cohesive and captivating whole.

Standout tracks like "Trampolene" and "Eve's Volcano" are instant classics, their infectious hooks and heartfelt lyrics sticking with you long after the album has ended. And let's not forget the iconic cover art, featuring Cope sporting his trademark shades and looking every bit the rock god he is.

Saint Julian is a testament to Julian Cope's uncompromising artistic vision and boundless creativity. It's a wild, weird, and wonderful journey that will leave you craving more. Trust us, you won't regret diving into the magical world of Saint Julian.

About the artist

Julian Cope

Julian Cope is not just a musician, he’s a force of nature. With a career spanning over four decades, this psychedelic rock pioneer has proven time and time again that he’s not afraid to push boundaries and challenge the status quo. Cope first rose to fame as the frontman of The Teardrop Explodes in the late 70s and early 80s, with hits like "Reward" and "Treason" solidifying his reputation as a formidable songwriter and performer. But it wasn’t until he embarked on a solo career in the late 80s that he truly came into his own. Known for his eccentricity and offbeat sense of humor, Cope’s music is a blend of psychedelic rock, punk, and folk that defies categorization. His lyrics are often surreal and absurd, filled with references to ancient mythologies and esoteric beliefs. But don’t let that fool you – Cope is a serious artist with a sharp wit and a keen eye for social commentary. In recent years, Cope has continued to release music at a furious pace, with albums like "Drone Rock" and "Repossessed" garnering critical acclaim. But it’s his live performances that truly set him apart – a Cope show is a wild ride through the mind of a true musical maverick, complete with costumes, props, and plenty of audience participation. So if you’re looking for something a bit different, a bit weird, and a whole lot of fun, look no further than Julian Cope. He’s a true original in a sea of copycats, and he’s not afraid to let his freak flag fly.
