Crushing

Released in 2019, Crushing saw Julia Jacklin return with a remarkable second album that confirmed her place among Australia's most celebrated songwriters and one of the defining voices in contemporary indie music.

Built around the many meanings of its title, Crushing is an album of emotional intensity, capturing the confusion, vulnerability, heartbreak and fleeting exhilaration that accompany relationships and the process of rebuilding yourself afterwards. Written with striking honesty and emotional precision, the record explores the ways our physical experiences shape, influence and sometimes distort our inner worlds.

Across ten beautifully crafted songs, Jacklin combines vivid storytelling with her unmistakable voice, creating intimate moments that feel deeply personal while remaining universally relatable. Whether reflecting on identity, intimacy, independence or the expectations placed upon women, her songwriting balances tenderness with quiet defiance and sharp observational detail.

Featuring standout singles including Body and Head Alone, Crushing was widely praised for its emotional intelligence, lyrical depth and understated arrangements, cementing Julia Jacklin's reputation as one of the most important Australian artists of her generation.

This edition presents Julia Jacklin's acclaimed sophomore album pressed on 140g Green Vinyl and housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
