Based in the UK, Julie July Band are a British folk-rock group fronted by Julie July, whose crystal-clear vocals define their sound.

Their three albums: Lady of the First Light (2019), Wonderland (2022), and Flight of Fancy (2024), have cemented their reputation in the modern folk-rock scene, praised for both artistry and live performance.
Their single, Seven Cities of Gold, released on March 1, 2025, also features on their 2024 album Wonderland. Additionally, a music video premiered on YouTube in February, pairing stunning landscapes with the song’s themes.

From the first notes, the track feels like contemporary folk-rock steeped in nostalgia, steady and melodic. The guitar twangs gently, while harmonies stretch across the background, giving it a wide, cinematic presence.
The lyrics turn the song into a mythic journey: “When we find the hidden secrets of this wild and lonely land. We will fight for the fortune, as we travel hastily across the sand.” Then, “Should this be a message from a spirit up above, will our inner passions keep us bold,” rises like a question carried on the wind.
