July Talk Share New Video
‘PICTURING LOVE’
WATCH HERE
UK ARENA TOUR WITH CATFISH AND THE BOTTLEMEN
Playing London’s SSE Wembley Arena 15th November
NEW ALBUM TOUCH OUT NOW
The band is known for their provocative videos and ‘Picturing Love’ is no exception. Continuing with their theme of black and white imagery, the striking video explores the use of online pornography within a relationship. Co-vocalist Leah Fay explains the concept behind the track,
“We’ve talked a lot about the mainstream media’s depiction of love, romance, and sex over the years. Particularly about how hetero-Hollywood porn affects the way young people discover sex and the unrealistic and male-pleasure-centric ideas it forms and perpetuates. The more that people buy into the examples of sex/romance they see, and the less they tune into the actual wants and needs of their bodies/hearts, the more fucked up sexual relationships can become. So lyrically it’s exploring that. Sexuality is complicated and curious and so much more than what mainstream media feeds us and suggests it is.”
The new single is taken from their critically acclaimed second album Touch which has just been released in the UK via Caroline Records / Universal. Also featured on the album is the previous single ‘Beck + Call’ featuring Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq and lead track ‘Push + Pull’, which showcases the perfectly contrasting voices of co-vocalists Pete Dreimanis and Leah Fay and spent a month at number 1 on the Canadian Alternative Chart.
July Talk is a phenomenal live band who have just finished a major US tour supporting Nothing But Thieves, as well as touring Europe and the UK in September including a truly astounding, sold-out performance at The Boston Music Room, London.
Now the band is embarking on their biggest UK appearance yet supporting Catfish And The Bottlemen on their sold-out tour, which kicked off on Saturday at Derby Arena and includes a date at London’s SSE Wembley Arena on November 15th.

“He’s gravel and whiskey. She’s pinot noir and angel dust. Together, Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay are July Talk – sexy as hell and Canada’s emerging favourite…” – NPR
“July Talk come into their own with ‘Touch’ with intimidating confidence along with their authentic bluesy swagger… It is chock-full of the band’s most expansive, vigorous material to date.” – Paste
“The album showcases the band’s multiple musical personalities while still delivering a singular vision. [It] pushes July Talk’s musical vision forward without sacrificing their core elements.”
– Exclaim
“Danceable disco…noisey, ambient rock that takes nods at Bikini Kill, Nick Cave or even Arcade Fire.” – New Noise Magazine
“A strange kind of pop…that alternates between catchy and jarring… They have the certain ne sais quoi it takes to be goddamn massive, and my money’s on them headlining festivals across North America within the next five years.”- Consequence of Sound
