HOLTER, JULIA - SOMETHING IN THE ROOM SHE MOVES (2LP)

"After a string of dream pop albums that established her searching voice in independent music-from 2012 breakthrough Ekstasis to Loud City Song and Have You in My Wilderness-Holter released the sprawling and thrillingly experimental Aviary in 2018. Since then, she has scored films like Never Rarely Sometimes Always, performed a commissioned live score for The Passion of Joan of Arc with the Chorus of Opera North, and collaborated with her partner, the musician Tashi Wada, who plays synth and bagpipes on her new album. Something in the Room She Moves is a remarkable progression in Holter's oeuvre, synthesizing her free, improvisatory energy with her signature eloquence." (label info)
