Music of the Day: Lil Julez – Humanless Dogs

Completely dedicated to a wonderfully trashy 60ies and 90ies aesthetic and combined with the current sound of the Gen Z Indie movement, the 22-year-old prodigy convinces with a charismatic voice and a golden touch for great melodies. 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.
