jo from school turns Julia Roberts into a debut-era calling card

jo from school’s Julia Roberts arrives as the kind of debut-era single that understands names can be tiny portals. Released alongside the announcement of Grace, Flair & Distance, the track introduces North London artist Jo Geller as a recent Chess Club Records signee with a six-track EP on the way. The context already feels promising: appearances at Left of the Dial, support dates with Daffo and TTSSFU, and a forthcoming UK and European run with Skullcrusher. That places jo from school in the right ecosystem for curious indie listeners who like their pop slightly off-centre and still forming its own language. Julia Roberts is a title loaded with image, glamour and cultural memory, but the more interesting question is how Geller twists that reference into something personal. As a first real campaign moment, it does its job: it makes the name stick.
