About

Julie has played music under the name of lispector (because she likes the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector) since 1996.
From 1996 to 2000, Julie made numerous home recorded cassette tapes, armed with a cardboard drum kit and a few Yamaha keyboards.
In 2000, she moved to New York City and released her first album "Human Problems And How To Solve Them" in 2002 on her own label, Ponytail Records. Julie performed live only three times for a very selective New York City audience. `The album was then released in France by the label Antimatiere (now Herzfeld).
The record is composed of pop/lo-fi/folk songs selected from Lispector's DIY audio tapes. The songs are a mix of minimalist rhythms, uneven guitars and old synths.
On the record, as on all of her tapes, you can read "lispector is Julie & her recorder." Indeed, the 4-track machine made the band possible.
In 2004, lispector reached an important technical phase with the companionship of her sequencer and started recording with 8 tracks.
Double the fun.
In 2006, Julie released the "Young, Wild & Lonely Split Album" with the company of the elegant Maison Neuve.
In August 2008, "Guide To Personal Happiness" was released in the UK on Twisted Nerve. The album is a selection of 4 and 8 track recordings from lispector's tapes and it's pretty much made of words and music, guitars and keyboards, vocals and back ups. And what are the subjects talked about? Well, planets and beings, tattoos and planes, reality and fiction.
