JULIAN NEVER - Pious Fiction LP

Limited edition of 300 copies.

Highly recommended.

The album is built upon a solid base of guitar-centric pop richly layered with ethereal synths and piano, intertwined with themes of love, loss and Julian Elorduy’s Catholic upbringing, all delivered with his captivating tenor.

Inspired by the Flying Nun catalog, Prefab Sprout and odd underground pop hits by Chris Spedding and Dwight Twilley.

Pious Fiction is 15 tracks of bittersweet, sun-warped jangle self-recorded off and on over the last four years in a variety of Sacramento homes and warehouses with the help of former Mayyors band-mate Mark Kaiser (also formerly of Castle Face goth punks MALE GAZE).
