Биография

At the height of the pandemic Julie Kathryn left New York City, moving to northern Westchester County. While the musician, who makes music under the name I AM SNOW ANGEL, has been more isolated at times in the past —see her solo writing session in a log cabin in the Adirondacks, surrounded by 44 inches of snow—relocating to the Hudson Valley gave her a renewed sense of space. It was there, where she cared for her infant son during the day and allowed her mind to wander at night, that she crafted the songs that would become her new album Lost World. On Falling Down to the Earth and elegy, her EPs released in 2021, Kathryn explored ambient soundscapes. After that, she was ready for an exercise in pure pop, albeit with expansive soundscapes informed by her work as a producer for other artists and sound designer for Ableton. While physically solitary, Kathryn wasn’t actually creating alone. The time was filled with unexpected connections when she began working with producer Charles Newman and musician/composer JJ Appleton. The three exchanged ideas remotely across three different cities that would eventually become three tracks on the album. Lost World represents a powerful turning point for Kathryn—the moment when all her passions, talents and skills aligned to create something new. She wrote the album while grappling with the same issues that have set the world on fire for the last three years. But Lost World is more about the strength of imagination than the power of pain.
