The Julie Puppets | “Codes & Signals”

Julie Puppets

The Julie Puppets forthcoming release, Codes & Signals, is, to put it simply, amazing. Building on the solid foundation that was their debut EP, Codes is mature and edgy with a bend towards the aesthetic qualities that fill out the fringes of their signature sound.

Each listen of the album brings out different feelings and thoughts, a sign of good songwriting and producing. Russ Staiger’s vocals are soothing throughout and build up until they reach the point of brilliance on the album’s best track, “Competitor Unique” – a song that captures the raw emotion of Radiohead and mixes it with the pop sensibilities of The Verve.

Come out to the cd-release show on December 15 at Bar-Fly in downtown Minneapolis. 18+
