A melodic architect of the heart and mind, it makes sense Julia Bardo would name her debut album Bauhaus, L’Appartamento. Unlocking a space of her own after laying foundations in a foreign land, it is an intimate bell jar containing the twists and turns of her journey so far from Brescia, Italy to building a new life in Manchester, and traces her unfolding blueprint of thought processes along the way.
“Bauhaus, L’Appartamento is about loneliness, solitude, separation but also unconditional love,” reveals Julia of the record’s overarching themes. “Family, emotional dependency, mental health issues, feelings of emptiness and numbness, feelings of not being enough, inability to be in control of my own emotions, self-doubt, self-reflection, past traumas and dealing with them.”
Disarming listeners with its honesty, Julia’s debut EP Phase was deeply personal, each song unfurling like the pages of a diary. Bauhaus, L’Appartamento continues that tradition within its freewheeling alt-rock temperament and unflinching melancholy. Any remaining walls are brought tumbling down with layers of rhythm guitar and a wild heart on her sleeve. It is an album that brings focus to feeling and sees Julia unconsciously uniting art with everyday life as she grows closer to discovering her true self. “The name “Bauhaus, L’Appartamento” comes from the apartment complex I lived in when demoing the album’s recordings,” Julia recalls. “L’appartamento means “flat” in Italian; it was important to include my roots in the title, it’s a big part of myself and my personality.”
