On the heels of releasing her Eastwick/Cold Caller 7″, Julia Jacklin now shares the video for ‘Cold Caller’ described by The FADER as “a treasure.”
About the video Julia says:
“Over my 5 years of dancing training I accumulated about 4 dance moves, which have all been utilised in this clip. You could say it all started here in this dance studio in my hometown, Springwood, where beginning at the age of 11, I laboured and then learned that I was not going to be a professional dancer. Nevertheless for those 5 years I did my best; tap danced at a casino in a high vis one-piece to ‘Working Class Man’, waved my arms repeatedly around at an event held in a McDonalds car park to Enya’s ‘Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)’, crammed my pre-pubescent body into silver hot pants for Pink’s ‘Get this Party Started’. It’s still my favourite thing to do, and this song is about something worrying, but also something incredibly joyful and all I could think to do to express that was to dance.”

Jacklin’s debut Don’t Let The Kids Win, featuring favourites ‘Pool Party’, ‘Leadlight’ and title track ‘Don’t Let The Kids Win’, has gone on to achieve stunning critical acclaim the world over. The acknowledgements for the album have culminated in two nominations at this year’s ARIA Awards including the coveted Best Female Artist Award nomination.
Jacklin is set to head out on her final tour of the year with huge headline shows across the UK, US and Canada before returning to Australia for the Falls Festival run and Twilight at Taronga with Cloud Control in February. The UK tour will visit Portsmouth, Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester and Nottingham before Jacklin’s biggest London show to date at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 9 November.
