The LA-raised, NYC transplant and soulscaper Julian Cubillos releases his third studio album on the New York-based record label Tiny Montgomery on Tuesday, March 31st, 2015. Building from Cubillos’ self released “Youth” (2010) and “Grand Prize” (2012), as well as a raging new single “I Explode the Bully with My Mind” (released by Tiny Montgomery in January), the label hosts an epic show at LPR on Saturday, April 4th in celebration of Julian’s latest full-length opus, “Evil”.
The show will also feature several other acts associated with the record label, with each bandleader a 20-something hailing from the United States: the 12-piece instrumental drone-pop orchestra Tom Csatari Band; the Americana singer/songwriter Joanna Sternberg (playing Elizabeth-Cotton-infused contemporary love songs); the Detroit-bred pop/soul maestro Matthew Dean Marsh; and the singer/songwriter (and esteemed multi-reedist) Levon Henry.

Julian Cubillos

If you’ve ever had a chance to see Julian Cubillos work, then you know his uncanny ability to play mastermind while embodying both warmth and calming cool. The Brooklyn-via-Los Angeles singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer has emerged with the follow-up to his 2015 punk rock glam party Evil in the form of a more stripped-down and direct rock record—and perhaps his most fully-realized to date—In Heaven.
With production credits spanning dozens of projects across Los Angeles and New York, it is perhaps Cubillos’ own music that best reflects his unassuming nice-guy genius sentiment. Time Out New York describes his production style as “somehow [blending] genres like garage-punk, electro-pop and jazzy lo-fi into a coherent, fresh sound.”
Recorded live in a Flatbush, Brooklyn living room with a deft cast of musicians, In Heaven is his most focused work to date, with a tight band sound and Cubillos’ down-home, bedroom art pop in full display.
Whether cutting right to the heart with the bombastic album opener “The End,” navigating unabashed bedroom soul on the quasi title-track “Heaven,” crushing through lovesick grunge on “Pain,” or swooning over a blissed-out romance on the closing track “Sail” (featuring fellow Californian genre-defiers Ivy Meissner and Christian Lee Hutson on backing vocals), Cubillos keeps us engaged and on our toes, emerging atop a mountain of his own forming, a master of his own distinct and self-actualized brand of pop music.
