Robin Denselow Friday November 30, 2007 The Guardian *** (3 stars)
Julie Collings is a DIY celebrity in the making. She is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Derby who was not only responsible for all the instruments, voices and noises on this impressively laid-back and thoughtful new set, but also recorded and produced it herself in her spare room.
Her singing is light, breathy and personal, and she backs herself on a variety of instruments, dominated by acoustic guitar and a gentle wash of electronica.
There's not a vast range in her work - most of the tracks are sad-edged and slow - but she is a confident and distinctive song-writer, as shown by the personal and reflective The Last Post, the drifting electronica of Don't, the easy pop charm of Simple Things, or the more gently gutsy, guitar-backed title track.
It's a remarkable effort, considering the technical problems she must have faced, and she will now hopefully move out of that spare room to find more varied backing for her songs.
A dash of fiddle, accordion or cello could work wonders. --The Guardian
Review
Julie Collings, a Derby-based singer-songwriter debuts with Flotsam, a gently beguiling collection of eleven originals where her atmospheric vocals, tumbling guitar lines and occasional effects push things in the direction of acoustic acid folk.
Sporadically it does float off into the ether in its dreamy ambience but her stylish delivery manages to prevent disaster. --Rock n Reel
