Soundproof Interview
Quick & Dirty – Julie Fader
“Julie Fader may just be indie-rock’s best-kept secret. The velvet-voiced Toronto singer-songwriter has lent vocals and instrumentals to everyone from Justin Rutledge and Attack in Black to Cuff the Duke and Blue Rodeo, all while maintaining occasional membership in Great Lake Swimmers and Sarah Harmer’s and Chad VanGaalen’s bands. Despite her impressive CBC Radio 3 pedigree, Fader has typically found herself playing supporting roles. But now, following the release of her first solo album, Outside In, she’s moved into an unfamiliar place: the spotlight.” ~ Richard Trapunski

NXEW Article
“Back on Step. 3 I told you about Julie Fader’s new album. I told you that I don’t really do reviews – but that rather than take my word for the awesomeness of this album that “Sarah Harmer, Holy Fuck, the Great Lake Swimmers, Cuff the Duke, Bob Wiseman, Ron Sexsmith, Justin Rutledge, Matt Barber, Jill Barber, Dan Mangan, By Divine Right, A Northern Chorus, Chad Van Gaalen, Attack in Black, Hey Rosetta!, Apostle of Hustle and others will be in line to buy the album so, if the respect of other musicians, a whole lot of other musicians, means anything to you Outside In is an album that should be firmly on your radar.” If you weren’t convinced and wanted to wait for the word to come in from the people that do reviews the results are rolling in in a way that rarely happens for a first album in it’s first month.” ~ Justin Beach

Quick Before It Melts: New Music
“At a show in Toronto (more like a gala, really) on Monday night, a lot of talk centered on a certain young woman who was playing with two different acts on the 10-artist bill: Julie Fader is a musician’s musician, a multi-instrumentalist whose skills go beyond mere interpretation of others music to making her own. As a member of both Great Lake Swimmers and appearing with Chad VanGaalen on his soft Airplane LP, she’s had a pretty hectic and busy year. Before that, Fader featured prominently with Sarah Harmer’s band, so she’s clearly no slouch when it comes to the Canadian indie music scene.
Outside In is the kind of album you swear you’ve heard somewhere else before. Like a city that’s instantly familiar even though you have never visited it before, Outside In induces déjà vu-like in the listener as they travel down musical routes that remind you of roads previously taken, like how “Skin and Bones” reminds me of Julie Doiron. But, where Julie F. and Julie D. differ is the path they choose to take: where Doiron’s songs are rickety, threadbare arrangements, Fader layers her songs like warm pullovers over plaid flannel shirts. With each new addition, the songs seem to radiate warmth and beg you to curl up with them and snuggle. I don’t want to say she’s got a slicker sound, but it certainly sounds like production wasn’t just an afterthought on Outside In.” ~ J. Di Gioia

Call & Response: BlogTO
READ FULL INTERVIEW @ BLOGTO »
Julie Fader is a talented singer/songwriter, musician, and visual artist. I recently found out that I’ve seen and heard her more times than I thought. She’s a member of Great Lake Swimmers and also supports Sarah Harmer and Chad VanGaalen.
When she finds time, Julie’s creates her own beautiful ambient folk-rock. Her debut solo album OUTSIDE IN (Hand-Drawn Dracula) was produced and recorded by her boyfriend Graham Walsh (of Holy Fuck) and features lots of well-known indie musicians – including the big names she supports.
Julie and her band play the Hand-Drawn Dracula TIFF Showcase tonight, alongside Brian Borcherdt, Megasoid and many others. I talked to Julie about her album, her art, and writing backwards.
