Julia Jacklin starts digging for The Gem and finds a whole Melbourne mythology

Julia Jacklin’s The Gem arrives in the news cycle on 15 June with the kind of backstory indie songwriters dream of: a bar above a Collingwood venue, a studio called Rat Shack, nearly a year of recording, and songs tested in secret before being committed to tape. The first single, Get Away From Me (I Think I’ll Love You Soon), already sounds like a very Julia Jacklin title: funny, defensive, tender and emotionally dangerous in one breath. The album was made in Melbourne with co-producer Robert Muinos and a band of close collaborators, turning what began as a short session into a long act of excavation. That is the word Jacklin herself uses around the record: digging. The Gem feels like a metaphor for the whole process, a record about trusting the dark work of finding something valuable before you can properly see it.
