Julia Holter - Something In The Room She Moves - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing includes digital download. In The Same Room, a beautiful new from Julia Holter, inaugurates the Domino Documents series. Named after a song from Holter's 2012 album Ekstasis, this career-spanning collection is the fruit of two days recording by Julia and her tremendous band (Corey Fogel - drums/vocals; Dina Maccabee - viola/vocals and Devin Hoff - stand-up bass) at RAK Studios in the days after their main stage performance at Green Man Festival in Wales. Comprised of new arrangements of songs from three of her previous studio releases (Tragedy, Loud City Song and 2015's breakthrough Have You In My Wilderness), Holter's Domino Documents is an essential for anyone who has witnessed her brilliant, beguiling band on tour around the world in the last five years as well as the perfect introduction to a truly important and innovative young artist.

Limited double vinyl LP pressing. 2015 , the fourth album by the Vancouver-born and New York-based acclaimed cellist. Julia Kent rose to prominence with Rasputina and Antony & The Johnsons. Her extensive résumé includes recent work with Swans, Aidan Baker, Rachel Grimes, Rutger Zuydervelt, Barbara Morgenstern, Library Tapes and Khan of Finland. As the title suggests, this is a record born of conflict internal, personal and global. Universal themes. The build of pressure and the threat of violent . Modern guilt. Modern fears. Kent draws from a rich well of emotion, the pieces deceptively rendered, each feeling like a miniature dramatic epic in its own right-sculpted and self-contained. Her work on recent film scores is very much in evidence. While cinematic in scope, there is no trite Hollywood ending here. There is tension and darkness, the edges cracked and frayed. Asperities was recorded, produced and mixed in its entirety by the artist in her New York studio. Looped cello, electronics and found sounds create a world where the technological and the organic merge in perfect symbiosis, the layers of sound peeling back to reveal a beating, bloody human heart at its center. Throughout the plaintive strains of opener InchHellebore,Inch the prowling grace of InchThe Leopard,Inch the elegant restraint of InchHeavy EyesInch and the immersive closer InchTramontana,Inch Kent's cello evokes romance and loss, a yearning for simplicity. This is the soundtrack to the transitory nature of life and the inevitability of death. Album Tracks 1. Hellebore 2. Lac Des Arcs 3. The Leopard 4. Flag of No Country 5. Terrain 6. Empty States 7. Heavy Eyes 8. Invitation to the Voyage 9. Tramontana

Recent years brought about for Julia Holter an existential focus on human connection, amid the staggering change that came with the death of loved ones (including her young nephew, to whom the album is dedicated) and the birth of her daughter. On Something in the Room She Moves, Holter vividly processes the complexity, gravity, and awe of this confluence of experience. She calls the music Inchsensual,Inch Inchflowing,Inch and InchnocturnalInch-a testament to how love, with all of it's challenges, Inchreroutes neural pathways.Inch The cover art by Holter's childhood friend, artist Christina Quarles, highlights the multiplicity of intimate connection are the figures embracing or in battle? The title Something in the Room She Moves came to Holter spontaneously as she was naming the Logic project file for an early demo. Coincidentally, a few months later, she found herself mesmerized by the eight-hour cinéma-vérité Beatles documentary Get Back in 2021. Her titular phrase flips the gaze of the Beatles lyrics (InchSomething in the way she moves...Inch); the woman is no longer passively observed, but actively augmenting space. Holter has loved the Beatles since childhood, but sees the title less as a tribute than as a semi-surreal bit of automatic writing from her subconscious. 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 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, Tashi Wada, who plays on her new album. Something in the Room She Moves is a remarkable progression in Holter's oeuvre, synthesizing her free, improvisatory energy with h
