 clevescene.com | News | Julie Doiron
Doiron's latest musical excursion, Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars (recorded with her band, the Wooden Stars), recently earned her a Juno award (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy).
Of course, this is nothing new for Doiron -- she's been in the Juno-nominated position before, as a member of Eric's Trip, a jammy, stripped-down acoustic band of Canadian hippies who were critical darlings for most of their six-year existence, during which they released three albums on Sub Pop Records.
Doiron begins hammering on the world with a vengeance this year, as she hits the road with the Stars to promote their album.

 Synthesis : Music : Julie Doiron : Out of the Longest Winter : Singer/Songwriter Julie Doiron Discusses The Personality ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Doiron’s most recent record, Julie Doiron And The Wooden Stars (recorded with her fellow Canadians, The Wooden Stars), shows a depth of emotion that goes beyond the forlorn confession that her fans have grown to expect.
Doiron’s shy and quiet manner of songwriting is one of the strongest aspects of her music, one which would seem in opposition to someone who has created a career out of writing boldly confessional music.
Part of Doiron’s personality, something that goes along with the insecurity she has revealed through her music, is her tendency to sing and speak the word "sorry." Even on her most recent record, throughout the song "Seven," Doiron repeats the word, "sorry" as a lonesome chorus.

 Julie Doiron and pals perform with perfection this past Friday
After having interviewed her just a few short days before, It was especially exciting to have the chance to see Julie Doiron in person last Friday night at the Cellar.
Consequently however, the crowd that had actually come to see her gathered closely around the stage and were given a show more intimate even than the gallery connexions gig.
Julie felt comfortable enough with this small attentive group of fans to converse casually about everything from her pieces to her personal life.

After a solo album on Sub Pop (her home for the previous decade with Eric's Trip), Doiron found a good home in Tree, for whom she first released Will You Still Love Me? As the inaugural EP, it was also a creative spring-board for Doiron, a mini-album that has endured as a fan favorite.
She is now a recording artist for Jagjaguwar, and her notoriety as an "indie-diva" or "chanteuse" of the highest power is at its highest peak in the wake of respective releases of the critically acclaimed set of records, D?sormais and Heart And Crime, both on Jagjaguwar.

 Julie Doiron: Goodnight Nobody: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Unlike some of her less earthbound contemporaries, Doiron is wholly disinterested in investigating either music's history or its future.
Throughout her career, Doiron has followed the cliched "write what you know" maxim to a fault, and that doesn't change here; there's very little mystery within the plainspoken lyrics of tracks like "Snowfalls in November" or "Last Night".
When Doiron sings lines like, "Tomorrow I will be on a stage/ And I will sing the words from all of the pages/ In front of all the people/ I will close my eyes thinking of you," she certainly gives you no reason not to believe her.

Tonight, your headphones are your earmuffs and you have the sweet sounds of Julie Doiron's warm mezzo to keep the rest of you toasty.
Doiron began her musical resume as the bassist for the mid-90s indie-poppers Eric's Trip, a poster band for all the Canadian media darlings of underground folk rock.
Doiron is honest, perhaps even to a fault as she often leaves little mystery to the listener.

 Ink 19 :: Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars
Julie's Will You Still Love Me? EP was a haunting, spare record of just guitar and vocals with occasional accents from organ and vibes.
The heart of the songs still lies in her lyrics and touchingly fragile, hushed vocals, but the instrumentation is much fuller, and complements her melodies and word-painted atmospheres in a different, equally successful way.
Julie returns the favor a bit by singing backups on three songs on the Wooden Stars' The Moon, an album filled with indie pop songs that are confident yet moody, fluid and slightly tense.

 Cokemachineglow.com - Julie Doiron: Goodnight Nobody
The listener gets Julie Doiron as "everyone else," but that "everyone else" is also sometimes the listener, and, as such, Goodnight Nobody fools us into liking it despite its flaws.
On “Snow Falls in November,” Julie is colloquially loving her guy while the window ices up.
Doiron’s full-but-faltering vocals fit the feel, and the piece comes off pleasingly tight given its “live” status.

Goodnight Nobody finds an unguarded Julie Doiron, efficiently but undeliberately creating her first masterpiece in a few days time at three different locations.
And even though she is described frequently in the press as an "indie-diva" or "chanteuse" of the highest power, Julie Doiron fits these well-intentioned approbations only in that she is a woman singer comfortable in her own skin.
Julie Doiron began her career in music in 1990 at the age of 18 in Moncton, New Brunswick Canada playing bass in Eric's Trip, a folky yet psychedelic band that was to become the undisputed underground darling of Canadian Music.

Julie Doiron's increasingly exciting solo career has long since surpassed her formative years spent with 1990s noise-pop stars Eric's Trip, her five confessional albums making her one of the most well-respected artists in today's singer-songwriter / indie-folk commune.
She may have become a more careful arranger over the years, but the carefulness of her performance and her songwriting was there from the start.
The songs are teasingly brief, Doiron says what she has to say and then moves on.

 Julie Doiron/Okkervil River - split album (Acuarela)
Julie Doiron possesses a simplicity to her approach that could easily be misconstrued, but if you've followed her from Eric's Trip to her earlier Broken Girl days, you'd recognize her genius.
The segue from the sparseness of Doiron and her guitar to the band Okkervil River works fairly well.
The pairing of Okkervil River with Julie Doiron is strange but not disparate.

 DOA - Julie Doiron, Okkervil River - Split CD
Doiron, being unassailably fragile and graceful, and Okkervil finding strength in creaky and damaged songcraft, it's hard to immediately see the uniting thread that would make the two an ideal fit, other than the fact that both have released albums on Jagjaguwar.
Interestingly, as Doiron's music becomes more plaintive and Okkervil's grows increasingly complex, their superficial compositional aesthetic (if not their overt song structures) has come near to intersecting and now is currently in danger of passing without so much as a knowing nod for either.
Where Doiron is singing lullabies, Okkervil River is spinning nightmare narratives; where Doiron is confessing over a character sketch to cut straight to the emotion of the lyric, Okkervil River uses detail and texture to make the listener wonder if the message could be so obvious.

 Artist of the Week: Julie Doiron :: thetyee.ca
The native of Moncton might already be familiar to you, as she was first exposed to music-loving ears while playing with Canadian indie darlings, Eric's Trip.
When the band split, Julie released a collection of solo songs she'd amassed during her stint with the band under the moniker, "Broken Girl," which was the beginning of her solo career (all of her subsequent releases would bear her own name).
One of the things about Doiron's music that transcends music listeners who never bothered to learn the other official language is her voice.

Doiron's voice melds wonderfully with the dreamy improvisation of the Wooden Stars on this album, and at moments almost conjures up thoughts of Joni Mitchell, especially on the closing track, The Second Time.
On the first track of the album, Au Contraire, Doiron croons in passable French, letting her voice waiver and crack ever so slightly, exposing a very warm, engaging vulnerability.
Doiron does explore some territory outside of heartbreak, and even shows a crack of humour on "the Longest Winter", where she sings that "..

 Julie Doiron: Goodnight Nobody - PopMatters Music Review
To usher in cooler temps there may be no better song than Julie Doiron's "Snow Falls In November", which opens her latest, Goodnight Nobody.
So when she sings on "Dirty Feet", "God bless the workers / I wish I was one", the emotion is inherent in the notes she chooses to sing, not only the earnestness of her delivery.
Doiron has an unfathomable knack for using simple, straightforward language without being trite.

 Julie Doiron: Desormais: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Since the band split in 1996, Doiron has taken to releasing somber acoustic music, initially under the moniker Broken Girl, then later under her own name.
Doiron would be lucky to play 1,000 notes before her next album is released this spring-- she has a reputation for minimalist, acoustic compositions.
I will gripe about this; Doiron is exceptional at establishing mood, but less adept at driving home climax-- her song structures sometimes lack finality.

 * Dusted Reviews - Julie Doiron *
While Doiron has never had any problem creating an effective mood or conveying emotion, she isn’t the most resourceful songwriter: many of her songs are indistinguishable both lyrically and musically, and tend to melt together in an undifferentiated mass.
While Doiron’s voice remains gentle and quiet, her songs possess a previously unseen degree of aggression and intensity.
It sounds like a natural, positive progression for Julie Doiron, and maintains the strengths of her past albums while offering a glimpse at some new ones as well.
