is the brainchild of Scott Kulicke, a Seattle-based electronic producer. In studio recordings, Juliette is electronic for long drives, intricately weaving together layers of electronic soundscapes. However, in his live shows, Kulicke creates a one-man live-looping dance band with guitar, bass, keys, and drum machine.

With Juliette, Kulicke has carved out a distinct niche in the Seattle music scene, seamlessly blending electronic elements with live instrumentation to create a truly immersive experience. In our latest Q&A, we chatted with Kulicke about the project, his upcoming shows, and his creative vision.

In emerging artist ’s upcoming EP, “The Horizon Line Swallowed Us Whole,” the boundary between dream and memory fizzles and sputters, dissolves into a hum of static.

In our latest Q&A, sister swimmer answered our questions about her newest single “Knuckles”, her upcoming EP, and her creative process.

You may have noticed a subtle change to our logo in the last week or so. 👀 But, the time has come to formally announce Jack, FRXDAY’s new mascot! Big thank you to for making such a wonderful lil guy for us!

Why a dog you might be wondering? For those who don’t know her, is dog-obsessed, and Jack is based on her two rescue German Shepherds, Nikita and Goose (swipe to the end to see them and ).

Why the name Jack? We actually had a bit of a hard time naming him. But Jack had three different references that we liked:

1. Jack is the name of the dog in the song “The Weight” by The Band.

2. Jack as in “audio jack.”

3. One of Brennan’s favorite authors is Jack Kerouac.

In our stories, we’ll have a poll with all four of our top names and you can let us know which one you would have chosen. Or leave us a comment and let us know what you would have named Jack!

Day 9: a song you wish you wrote I chose “Monster Song” by @sister__swimmer. I’ve been impressed with her lyricism since the first time I heard her music, and “Monster Song” in particular has always stood out to me. She has a very unique and compelling voice as a songwriter, and I wish I had the talent to write lines like “She holds dusk like a shadow to her chest”. Of all of the lyrics in the song though, I have an almost visceral reaction to “One day I won’t be so lost at sea”. I really, really feel that one deeply. So give this song a listen, and let us know what your Day 9 challenge pick would be.

Day 8: a song that represents you For today’s challenge I went with “Waiting Game” by @hernameisbanks . This is one song that helps represent why I fell in love with music in the first place, and continue to be involved in the industry and get excited by new artists. I came across this song when it first came out in 2014, and fell in love with it and the entire ‘Goddess’ album as I was in my peak Tumblr indie/alt female vocalist phase. But I still think the vocals and production on this track are phenomenal, and while Banks is slightly bigger than the artists we usually highlight I’m surprised she doesn’t have more listeners! If you don’t already know this song, you should definitely check it out, and let us know what your Day 8 challenge pick would be. . . . . . . . #musicblog #musicblogger #songrecommendation #spotifyplaylist #musicplaylist #playlistcurator #discovermusic #songaday #challenge #songchallenge #banks
