“Well, I’m not the one who’s acting strange,” sings Juliander. Unpacking a relationship’s downward spiral, the singer-songwriter not only comes to terms with reality but manages to reclaim his self-worth. “Time well wasted on something that is gone,” he later sings, leaving those words hanging in the air. Luminescent and reverberating, piano stuns as his primary accompaniment. Only light production adds an ethereal, yet emotionally-poignant, veneer. His voice rises crisp and clear in a life-saving performance. “What is going on?” he begs. A conversation with his significant other, “Strange” cuts deep, and you can’t avoid it no matter how hard you try. It’s that potent.
