My Music Interview 393 - The Pull Of Autumn

Indie art-pop outfit The Pull of Autumn presents their new offering 'Lost Time'. Featuring San Francisco singer-songwriter Julius Manning, this echoes the hushed intimacy of Nick Drake, only with heightened dream-energy, A highlight of their fifth album 'Memory Tree', a vibrant yet reflective collection of poignant indie folk songs released by the Boston indie imprint RBM Records. Led by Rhode Island native Daniel Darrow of 80s post-punk group Johanna’s House of Glamour, The Pull of Autumn is a dynamic collective - like a revolving door of collaborators whose other core members are Bruce MacLeod, Matthew Darrow, Luke Skyscraper James (I.R.S. recording artist Fashion), who also created the video for this new Julius Manning-led single. Each release involves notable and emerging artists, drawn from the local scene and further abroad. Julius Manning is a long-time Pull of Autumn collaborator, who earlier appeared on the 'Small Colors' and 'Beautiful Broken World' albums. A veteran of the Southern California music scene, Julius’ music recalls the sixty’s British folk music of Nick Drake, together with Sandy Denny's dreamy sound. Described as "a melancholy remembrance of moments in time and life", the 'Memory Tree' album features numerous outstanding artists, including Philip Parfitt (The Perfect Disaster), Ricky Humphrey (This Twisted Wreckage), San Francisco-based artist Leigh Gregory, Berkeley singer-songwriter Sophia Campbell, and Rhode Island Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame inductee Paul Everett.
