Although she currently calls the City of the Violet Crown home, Julia Lucille doesn’t really sound like Austin. Her brooding post-rock guitar recalls the cinched-up hoodie weather of Portland, where she recorded her first album, rather than the smoldering sunny days of Texas. No, her third album Homing reels with a different kind of tension: washed-out vocals rise and fall around dizzying suspended chords fingerpicked on a hollow-body electric, producing a wistful tone reminiscent of Elliott Smith. Julia Lucille may not sound like Austin, but she channels a quiet strain of indie-folk that resonates well with our sit-down folk scene. –Written by Kevin Allen
