The Julies Launch the Cherisher Remixes With Causeway’s Mournful Dance Rework of “Forever Songs”

Philadelphia’s The Julies kick off a month-by-month remix series from their February album with a first installment that turns longing chime-pop into downbeat synthwave without losing any of the ache.

The Julies released Cherisher back in February, and now they are letting it breathe in other people’s hands. The Cherisher Remixes series launches tomorrow with “Forever Songs (Causeway’s Cosmix),” the first of several reworks dropping one per month through February 2027, each assigned to an artist from a different corner of the original album’s sound.

Causeway is a strong first choice. The Philadelphia synthwave duo of Marshall Watson and Allison Rae came up through Italians Do It Better, appeared on the label’s After Dark compilations, and released their debut We Were Never Lost in 2022 before following it with Anywhere on Manchester’s Sprechen in 2025. Their shared reference points with The Julies are obvious and audible: The Cure, Cocteau Twins, New Order. They know this territory.

The original “Forever Songs” is the five-minute penultimate track on Cherisher, all chiming guitars and longing. Causeway’s version keeps the ache entirely intact and sets it in motion: drum machines, downbeat melodrama, a mournful dance-floor quality that the original only hinted at. It is a remix that earns its existence, which is not a given.
