Sugaring a Strawberry, the sophomore record from Julia, Julia, is a study in coming undone-on purpose.

Recorded at COMA, Julia Kugel's home studio, and mixed through a custom Flickenger clone, the album drifts in and out of clarity like memory itself. It's emotionally retrospective, creatively unvarnished, and deeply human. You can hear it in the hiss, the warmth, in the vocals so raw they're like an open window. These songs weren't engineered for perfection. They were built to breathe. Her long-time collaborator and husband, Scott Montoya, mixes it all so loosely that you can hear the air between tracks- a space that makes the music feel inhabited rather than recorded.

"Bound" opens the album like a secret passed between sisters, solemn and unspeakably close. It begins with the softest of touches: hushed guitar, a near-whispered delivery that carries the intimacy of someone singing only for one other person. It's a love song, but not romantic, more ancestral in the way long bonds can be.

The lyric "I will be your home" is like a vow that has already been kept again and again. Hovering between devotion and entrapment, it unfolds slowly and sacredly. All glow and undercurrent, "I Know," is like hearing someone hum through a wound. The track arrives as if it had been waiting, coiled and complete, to be sung. It's pulse is slow but insistent, anchored on a hypnotic loop and a vocal that's half-incantation, half-confession. "But I'm a fighter now" rises like a mantra, fragile but certain, the kind of line that doesn't demand belief so much as carry it. One of the most outward-facing songs on the record, "Feeling Lucky," opens like a cigarette flicked in the dark- smoky and a little bit slick.

Built on a skeletal beat and a nearly detached vocal, it leans into a sarcastic swagger that barely masks the ache beneath. The delivery is droll and glazed, the instrumentation is sparse and a little woozy, leaving space for her voice to sway-a shrug of a song, stylish in it's sadness. "A Love That Hurts" drifts in on soft, fingerpicked guitar and a dry, close-mic vocal that feels both haunted and immediate.

The mix is stripped down and analog-warm, letting tape hum and silence frame the emotion. Julia sings like she's remembering something she doesn't want to, each line a slight unraveling. Like the rest of the album, "A Love That Hurts" doesn't push toward resolution. It sits in the ache, sifts through it, makes it beautiful. Sugaring a Strawberry doesn't seek catharsis so much as stumbles into it. There's a quiet volatility to these songs like they might fall apart if you press too hard. It moves in shadow and softness, asking questions it doesn't answer. It doesn't end with closure. It ends with truth.

Good product
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
Very soft and chewy, sugar free and has good flavor. It does lose its flavor around 10 minutes in but that's how long its meant to be chewed for anyway.

Great for your teeth and breath
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
Purchased this brand because it claimed to have no aspartame and was 100% xylitol. Xylitol is claimed to be a teeth remineralizer and I want fresh breath without all of the sugar. These are a nice, mild mint. Some mint gums make your eyes water they are so strong, this is definitely a nice range for me- did not make my eyes water but does give you nice breath. Flavor lasts a long time. I like it and I like that the pouch is resealable for carrying or the little chiclet style pieces can be placed in an aesthetic tin in your bag for on the go.

Perfect Keto-Friendly Gum, Clean Ingredients & Great Flavor!
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried so many sugar-free gums, and this is by far the best option for anyone following a keto or strict carnivore lifestyle. It’s aspartame-free, has clean ingredients, and doesn’t leave that artificial aftertaste that most gums have. The spearmint flavor is fresh and long-lasting, and I love that it helps satisfy cravings without adding sugar or unnecessary carbs. The texture stays soft longer than other brands, and the resealable bag is super convenient for keeping in the car, gym bag, or at work. If you’re looking for a healthier gum that fits perfectly into a low-carb, keto, or carnivore-focused routine, this is definitely the one to buy. Four stars only because the flavor only lasts about a minute.

Love this gum, no aspartame, no artificial coloring and good taste, you get used to chewing it for a long time, the taste goes away little faster than traditional gums but I don't care

Great Xylitol Chewing Gum!
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 3), Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 3)
This review is for PUR Gum | Aspartame Free Chewing Gum | 100% Xylitol | Natural Spearmint Flavored Gum, 55 Pieces (Pack of 3). I got 2 of the 3-pack at the time because it was cheaper to do so than to get a 6-pack. Of course, the next day the 6-pack was cheaper lol. Anyway, this is great xylitol gum and not overly expensive like Zellie’s. I take 2 (which is one serving meaning 2g of xylitol) after “most” meals because it’s supposed to be good for my oral health. I chew one piece at a time for a couple minutes to prolong the sweet flavor instead of popping both into my mouth together. I like chewing these because they don’t harden up like some gums do. They stay soft throughout and I often forget and chew them for 15-20 minutes at a time. Anyway, I did the math and compared the PUR gum to other 100% xylitol gums out there and this one was a clear winner to me for the same benefits. I would totally recommend this gum and I like that it’s aspartame free! I’d give it a 5.0/5.0 - 03/20/2026.
