ALBUM ANNOUNCE
Belated announcement heheh
Hello dear Substack readers,
For the past two weeks I’ve come down with a stupid mystery illness that has made my brain quite foggy and I just realized I neglected to properly inform you of the news I’ve been edging you with for months. Which at this point you may have already seen on Instagram. But if you’ve been blessedly offline (which I applaud), then i’m soooo excited to share with you:
My sophomore album, Fish out of Water, will release into the world on December 5! Weeeeeeee!!
The title track is out now. Please watch the lyric video, which features photography by Swai that I adore. I edited this video in a Mucinex haze last week lol and I think it came out nice.
This song is quite meaningful to me. It features two of my besties, Andrea and Hanne, playing trombone. The three of us met at music summer camp, so this feels beautifully full circle. I love the trombone!! I love my friends! And I love this song! It’s one of my faves off the new album.
Releasing music usually gives me major heebies-jeebies, but I’m feeling oddly calm right now. Maybe it’s the cough meds. But also - I’ve been working on these songs for a longgggg time. And I’ve listened to them obsessively over the last few months. I think that they’re good, and I’m proud of this project. So there’s not much else to do at this point (emotionally that is, there are many many things I have to do hahaha). In the continuous hellscape of America 2025, it feels good to put real art out into the world. And everyone is being so nice.
Keep your eyes peeled for album release show news (spoiler: it will be in January). And there are a few other shows in the works as well. Very exciting. Coming up next week, I’ll be playing some songs at this sweet event that my friend Rowan is hosting:
Also, a brief note about my music on streaming services: My music continues to not be on Apple Music which sucks bad. I promise it’s not for lack of trying. They simply won’t let me upload it under my current artist name bc there are too many other profiles with the same name. HUH???? anyways… i think i’m going to get around this by uploading the album under a slightly different alias. Bc I don’t want Apple music listeners to not be able to listen to my music what the heck! We need different avenues other than Sp*tify!
Anyways… thank you for reading and for being here. I’ll leave you with this rude and hilarious video my mom just sent me on Instagram. Iconic.
Sending hugs,
Giulia
yayyyyy
