Julie Doiron: Honest, direct, Canadian. A singer of her own songs, from the French parts of New Brunswick. Gentle, insistent, intimate; she leaves you aching in the best possible way. Doiron and Calm Down, It’s Monday share this split single, Volume CXX of our International Pop Underground series of 7” records.

Heavy Snow finds Doiron working in the night time into the day, carrying an echoed, durable sadness; Nice To Come Home is a fitting extension of the previous song – the songwriter finding comfort in knowing that her lover is in the world and she will seem him soon. Calm Down, It’s Monday provide direct, guitar-driven introspections on Sweetest May, and Monumental; sung by Fred Squire with Julie on drums.

This new 45 rpm EP was recorded by Calvin Johnson at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Wash.
