Australian singer/songwriter Julia Jacklin has announced that her highly anticipated new album ‘PRE PLEASURE’ is  set for release on August 26, 2022 via Transgressive. Jacklin has previewed the album with new single Lydia Wears A Cross.

“The song is about a lot of things but mainly being a 7yr old Jesus Christ superstar fanatic attending catholic school trying to figure out which way is up. The music video was filmed by my constant collaborator and friend Nick Mckk at Splitpoint lighthouse. I played a show close by recently and asked on stage if anyone could let me film inside. Someone in the crowd knew a guy and that was it. The rest was filmed in the streets of Northcote, Melbourne.”

“A lot of the time I feel like I need to do all the work before I can enjoy my life,” says Julia Jacklin of her third album, PRE PLEASURE. “Whether that’s work on songs or sex, friendships, or my relationship with my family – I think if I work on them long and hard enough, eventually I’ll get to sit around and really enjoy them. But that’s not how anything works is it. It’s all an ongoing process.”

Jacklin will return to Dublin this November for a show in Vicar Street (details below) – read our 5 star review of Julia Jacklin’s 2019 Button Factory show here Pre-order ‘Pre Pleasure’ here
