I’ve been a fan of Julia Holter for a long time1. She occasionally creates moments that irritate me, but I kind of love her all the more for them.
This album only has a couple such moments. (With Aviary it was like the whole album. Need to listen to it again and see if that’s still the case. I’d pre-ordered that vinyl and didn’t get into it that much but felt like I should only listen to it on vinyl, loudly, when no one else was home, which is only like once or twice a year.) I should read and write more about this album. Or just listen to it a bunch more. That won’t be hard, I’m already doing that. And get it on vinyl. And listen to all her old stuff again. And. And. And.

since back when the blurb from old her record label described her in hipster ipsum terms as a classically-trained keytarist from Echo Park and she recorded a radio show with her keyboard over the phone. ↩︎
