Active since the late Nineties and long regarded as one of Italy’s most enduring independent acts, the Emilia-based ensemble continues to explore new forms of hypnotic expression through a refined blend of Psychedelia, Electronica, Kraut-influenced repetition, and a distinctive sense of cyclical motion.
“To The Sacred Mantle” stands as one of the record’s most atmospheric and spiritually charged compositions. Its slow-burning evolution, built upon layered textures, syncretic harmonic shapes, and a ritualistic vocal presence, offers a compelling glimpse into the album’s overarching aesthetic. The addition of Italian-Nigerian singer and songwriter Anna Bassy brings a new expressive dimension to the group’s sound, guiding the piece with evocative, mantra-like phrasing that enhances its immersive, trance-oriented quality.
As outlined in the official press release, “Radiance Opposition” unfolds across eight interconnected tracks that balance repetition and transformation. Motorik undercurrents (“Unit Circle”), nocturnal soundscapes (“6 AM Carpet Candlelight”), Noise-tinged Psychedelia (“The Earth Knows”), and introspective melodic passages (“Spring Moon” and “To The Sacred Mantle”) form a cohesive narrative arc in which contrasting elements find unity through tension, dialogue, and continuous motion.
The album’s visual identity, crafted by contemporary artist Zoë Croggon, reinforces this sense of ritual and metamorphosis, providing a symbolic framework that enhances the music’s immersive quality.
With “Radiance Opposition,” Julie’s Haircut reaffirm their central role within the modern Psych-Kraut spectrum, presenting an album that is both deeply rooted in their long-standing identity and boldly projected toward new creative directions.
“Radiance Opposition” will be released on November 28, 2025 via Superlove (EU) and Weird Beard Records (UK).
