Julia Holter - Something In The Room She Moves

“My heart is loud,” Julia Holter sings on her sixth album, ‘Something In The Room She Moves’, following an inner pulse. The Los Angeles songwriter’s past work has often explored memory and dreamlike future, but her latest album resides more in presence: “There’s a corporeal focus, inspired by the complexity and transformability of our bodies,” Holter says. Her production choices and arrangements form a continuum of fretless electric bass pitches in counterpoint with gliding vocal melodies, while glistening Yamaha CS-60 lines entwine warm winds and reeds. “I was trying to create a world that’s fluidsounding, waterlike, evoking the body’s internal sound world,” Holter says of her flowing harmonic universe.
