Julianna Barwick - WILL - VINYL LP

Originally released in 2011, Julianna Barwick's debut full length InchThe Magic PlaceInch is a nine-piece full-length album of magic and solace, bursting joy, and healing tones. Julianna's mostly a cappella music is built from her multi-tracked and looped voice, with backing instrumentation, but it's the vocals-soaring high in reverb-drenched, wordless harmonies-that matter most here. Layered fragments and pieces become an intricate pattern through electronics; it's the sound of a rising thing, a big group harmony as a splash of sunlight through a car window, a sound that feels like hope and ascendance and patience and intimacy. Out of print for years, this 2024 version has been fully remastered by Heba Kadry, and available through Julianna's InchFlorid RecordingsInch, the imprint she started in 2006 to self her earliest recordings. There's a very particular joy in listening to Barwick's music. Free of the constraints of narrative and traceable language, it's the same joy in giving yourself over to opera in a foreign language, of letting go of your pesky rational mind and allowing the feeling to come through in the voices and performance. The title track is next, a reverb-y beauty queen that soars to Promethean heights and builds it's own kind of safe haven in the clouds. Even the gaps between songs are essential to the album's listening experience-a sigh between stories or silence-as-drone, each second important. The New York Times called the pauses between Julianna's songs, Inchthe small pleasure of a chance to breathe between the greater pleasures of not wanting to have to.Inch Meet The Magic Place.

ALL BLUE is the debut solo album by Julianna Riolino, the Inchwhite-hot-lunged vocalistInch best known for her increasingly prominent role as a member of Daniel Romano's Outfit, including a star turn on lead vocals on the 2021 hit InchThe MotionsInch and where she displays a nightly mastery of the stage. On All Blue she displays a rare ability to re-envision the warmest strands of musical sepia and put her own individualist stamp on them, mixing a hefty dose of wit and wordplay into pitch-perfect representations of classic Americana tropes, sung in a powerful and unique voice, rich in character and attitude. Julianna Riolino knows how to capture and highlight beauty before it fades. She spent her days running up to the recording of her solo debut helping restore the stained-glass windows at St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto. Surrounded by symbols configured in bits of 19th century French glass, Riolino couldn't help but reflect on her own past and the memories of pains, healing, and love strewn through it. InchIt made me think about life as a balancing act, and we're all just trying to do our best to navigate it,Inch she says. That focus on morality and the stretch of time seeped naturally into Riolino's songwriting, resulting in the golden, fluid All Blue InchIf I was a painter, this would be my blue period,Inch she says. InchI'm looking at my life, all my decisions lined up, and either atoning for them or laughing them off.Inch1. If I Knew Now2. Isn't It A Pity3. Lone Ranger4. Archangel5. Queen Of Spades6. Hark!7.
