Lil Julez

Lil Julez counts himself as part of the global Bedroom Pop movement and cites Boy Pablo, Pink Pantheress, Mac Demarco or Steve Lacy as his biggest musical influences – all international greats of the genre.  A certain amount of humor is also an essential part during the songwriting process – Lil Julez’ lyrics often seem ironic or almost absurd to leave as much room for interpretation as possible. He also has very specific ideas for the selection of individual sounds. A guitar sound, for example, can sound “like a mixture of Spongebob and the Beatles” and in general Julez likes electronic drums that are strongly inspired by hip-hop.

Lil Julez on the accompanying music video: “The basic idea was to recreate a Japanese karaoke setting, in which a trashy green screen is often used. The song sounds to me a bit like it was recorded underwater with Spongebob, hence all the sea creatures in the video. I’m also a big Wes Anderson fan, so I even got an original Chas Tenenbaum Adidas suit for the shoot.“
