Singer-songwriter from Toronto, Ontario.
For years Julie Arsenault has been one of Canada's best-kept secrets. In 2014 the Toronto-based singer-songwriter self-released “The Creature That I Call Myself”, an album full of heart-wrenching tales of loss and suffering hidden under the catchiest of pop melodies. Released on Bandcamp only and without any fancy marketing campaigns, the album soon became a cult hit. Six years later, the Barcelona based label Son Canciones gives this hidden masterpiece a second life with a worldwide extended re-release, adding four powerful tracks to the original album.
Imagine Haley Heynderickx, Phoebe Bridgers and Fenne Lily around a fire on a cold Canadian winter evening, add a couple of bottles of whiskey and a little bit of tenderness,… et voilà.
