REMEMBER NEVER BEFORE (DELUXE) BY JULY TALK
The years fly by in kids and lines
But over time, the shoreline rises
In time, I long for a more modest life
As the ceiling cracks and the walls of our house come smashing down ?
When you’re in the moment, it’s always hard to say for certain if you’re on the right side of it all. But when the smoke clears, if you’ve followed your heart, you’ll always end up where you need to be. They say hindsight is 20/20 — or, in this case, 2024 — and a year after its release, July Talk revisit Remember Never Before to make it Deluxe, adding to the album’s ever-memorable melodies with the addition of three live recordings and two completely new songs, the tender “No Safe + Sound” and the propulsive “Rabbit Side.” ?
I’m on the white rabbit side
So much smoke I don’t know why
Cough and choke, close my eyes

I’m on the white rabbit side ?
Following Alice and Neo before them, July Talk jump head first into “Rabbit Side”, a swirling, pulsing thrill of guitars and vocals that leap out like a flash to follow. Weaving political discourse with fantasy, dreamy pop seduction with a bluesy twang, “Rabbit Side'' feels immediate and present, a trappable moment you’ll want to revisit again and again. With velveteen vocals, Leah Fay Goldstein explores the complex simplicity of a paradoxical existence: of having it all but wanting a bit less, of leading and following and remaining silent (or not) in the crush of overwhelming noise.
A man came to tell the world
We can live as one if we just choose love
And all his words,? Well, we ate 'em up
Like stoner kids with a box of donuts ?
With Remember Never Before (Deluxe), the band celebrates the original album by offering these new perspectives – and a few keepsakes – for those fans who appreciate the power of a July Talk concert. Exuding palpable excitement, live versions of “I Am Water”, “After This” and “Human Side” infuse the magic of the stage with the album’s studio performances, extending the emotion and energy of their live show to stretch moments in time beyond their original recording dates.?
