Julien Chang Shares New Video & Single "Time & Place"

Following the announcement last month of his new album The Sale, which drops on November 14, via Transgressive Records. Ahead of the release, multi-artist Julien Chang has shared a second offering from the full-length, “Time & Place” and its accompanying live video that was shot at Purgatory in Brooklyn, NY. The track follows well-received single “Marmalade“.

Speaking on the track, Julien comments: “Time and Place” is about the gentle goodbye of someone leaving, the kind of separation between two people that makes each one regret the awkward incongruencies of time and place: right place, wrong time; right time, wrong place; in any case it just didn’t work out. I wrote it from a position, or a feeling, of waiting, expecting, looking out for someone who has already left–a feeling somewhere between action and renunciation. It’s this kind of hopeful/hopeless tarrying that the song hangs on.”

Baltimore’s Julien Chang writes music that tunnels toward a series of deeper truths, investigating everyday existentialism, love and life, art and the artist. Arriving in 2019 with his critically acclaimed album Jules, Chang set a precedent with his breezy, dreamy debut and is now exacting his focus on 2022 with forthcoming new music.

Recorded partially in his hometown of Baltimore and partially in his dorm room at Princeton, his new album The Sale is a homegrown effort with Chang playing all instruments, bar the odd exception of a few notable cameos from Baltimore locals, classmates and old friends. Following his debut Jules. Chang’s LP explores the discrepancy between two worlds, a struggle to get comfortable in either one of them, and ultimately an artistic fascination with this very struggle.
