My Anti-Aircraft Friend is the debut studio album by American shoegaze band Julie. It was released on September 13, 2024, through Atlantic Records. It was supported by three singles: "Catalogue", "Clairbourne Practice", and "Very Little Effort".




Release and promotion


Julie released the album's lead single, "Catalogue", on September 29, 2023. The song was described by Tom Breihan of Stereogum as a "hooky, pleasantly tangled piece of fired-up grunge-pop". This was followed by the band supporting Alex G and Faye Webster on their respective tours in summer 2024, as well as playing a run of headlining shows. On July 8, 2024, Julie officially announced that their debut album would be titled My Anti-Aircraft Friend, and would be released on September 13. Alongside the album announcement, the band announced that its second single, "Clairbourne Practice", would be released on July 10. The song was described by the band as "sweet, then destructive" and they described its vocals as "maybe the most androgynous on the album". On July 16, they announced a headlining North American tour for the album, which is set to be supported by They Are Gutting a Body of Water, Frost Children, and Her New Knife. On August 21, they released the album's third single, "Very Little Effort". Breihan described the song as "a ringing, buzzing quilt of guitars with some very pretty vocals from Alexandria Elizabeth". Months prior to the album's announcement, Julie played the then-unreleased songs "Clairbourne Practice", "Very Little Effort", "Tenebrist", "Knob", and "Thread, Stitch" at some of their live shows.
