It was a really, really long time since Julie Christmas released a solo full-length but we finally got her follow up to 2010's The Bad Wife in the form of Ridiculous and Full of Blood, which came out earlier this year. She's just given listeners a more in-depth look into the band via the her video for "The Ash," which she explains is a deeply personal song with a deeply personal video.
“Girls dancing for hours, boys in masks gathering imaginary hordes of minions, neighbors, friends and family in a steady stream; sweat, muscle, blood, tears and fairy lights. Just like the song itself, 'The Ash' video is a deeply personal glimpse into each of the lives of the band. Derrick Belcham helped us capture the beautiful, powerful people around us in glimpses that remind us that individuality deserves, at the very least, a flashing moment of celebration.”
Ridiculous and Full of Blood is out now.
