ReviewsCommentJulia Holter - "Maxim's I"
Videos1 CommentThe new track from experimental musician Julia Holter is something of a marriage between the forlorn "World" and the lush "In the Green Wild," the first two singles taken from her upcoming LP Loud City Song. "Maxim's I" is a multi-phased song that begins ominously with sparse instrumentation and an overwhelming graininess, but this ultimately gives way to arrangements that have an expansive, almost fantastical post-rock quality to them. The song is accompanied by a fittingly grainy music video comprised of in-studio photographic stills.
Loud City Song is due for release on August 20 via Domino Records.
Also, Julia recently dropped a music video for the track "Our Sorrows," which is a cut that appeared on her previous album. Watch below:
Julia Holter - "In the Green Wild"
New TracksCommentJulia Holter has a dropped a new song and video for her upcoming album Loud City Song, which is due out on August 20th via Domino. “In the Green Wild” is the second glimpse Julia has given us of the LP--the first was the somber and spacious “World” back in May.
This second single is a considerably more upbeat affair. Here, Julia’s vocals are more whimsical than wearied, and the instrumentation is not nearly as sparse as it was in “World.” The sly upright bass and exotic percussion that the track opens with give way to an epic, string-kissed second half that manages to be simultaneously explosive and ethereal. Enjoy!
