mmm i’m at a little party on the couch with a new friend. i can’t remember his name, but when i got there he walked up and asked me my name and my pronouns as he stroked his dick (which is now in my mouth). unfortunately i’m so sorry but i can’t stay for too long, since my nice but caustic friend (she’s actually really sweet) is also throwing a party and i have to go dance. but first please fold me into this pulsing flesh structure, erected from grasping limbs and thrusts and gapes and held together with a tongue in a mouth and a ass i am very high and well fucked walking to the bus stop. the streets at 4am feel safe until they don’t; why does the truck slow down as it passes me? my feet hurt in my heels and (yes) i can be your faggot but please i have somewhere more important to be than this shitty reality you reach down and we put the heel in your hand gouge out his eyes shove your foot in his bootsucking mouth and push until you hear a crack see his jaw hang slack and gaping if a nail rips off in his cheek, leave it there fix your makeup in his rearview i get to the party. I’m wigged out, and high, but i spot my friend and they are looking hot in a strappy beige dress with colorful accents. i dissolve into the tones and rhythms of voices, smoke and alcohol in the air, the thump of music underneath. the party ends an hour later. my friend says get home safe in those heels you can barely walk in and i say fuck off and take a car home where my housemates rub lotion on my asshole and i pass out dreaming i see you bleed i see you suffer And i’m filled with rage and love for you i’m so uncertain but i’ll do what i can ‘cause i’m not dead yet so i’ll take it with my mouth open

about

Jan Julius (they/them) and Noumenal Loom are excited to present Meat Shot Idyllic, a queer future-pop celebration of the unstable collective utopias that arise in opposition to the nihilistic dystopia of our capitalist present. Pulling broadly from experimental internet dance music, contemporary pop and a spread of radical sci-fi and queer art across mediums, Jan Julius melds hard-hitting dance music with off-kilter sound design and richly emotional storytelling. The characters in these songs find liberation in dreams of genderfluid multi-sexed bodies, orgiastic squatter communities, and flaming apocalypses, all portrayed by Jan Julius with the joy, fury and yearning that accompanies feeling like there must be a better future somewhere.

Jan Julius is a non-binary future pop singer and producer from Portland, OR. They have released several EPs, and have brought their visceral live show to numerous venues around Portland, including several house basements and electronic music collective hub S1. With their debut album Meat Shot Idyllic, released by Rhode Island tape label Noumenal Loom, Jan Julius pulls listeners into a queer apocalypse of heavy dance beats, visceral sound design, and evocative lyrics that speak to the crises and fleeting joys of our contemporary moment. Jan Julius subverts conventions of gender and genre, their music and performance creating an explosion of raw emotion and horny dreaming that pulls listeners toward sweeter potential realities.
