More Info:
Louisiana-bred, Brooklyn-based Julianna Barwick crafts ethereal, largely wordless soundscapes, which are built around multiple loops and layers of her angelic voice. Barwick credits a rural, church choir upbringing for her unique sound & begins most tracks with a single phrase or refrain, then uses a loop station and the occasional piano or percussive instrument to build the song into a swirling mass of lush, ambient folk. 'The Magic Place', a nine piece, 43 minute album is a cinematic journey through glacial pacing and drifting drones. The occasional icy down-plink of piano, Julianna's gorgeous church house sigh of a voice, a swell of a dozen voices rising in harmony-this is music from the inside of the fortress of solitude, the work of a solitary creator, a message from a crystal palace of reverb and avant-choral bliss. Imagine SIGUR ROS with female vocalist or THE COCTEAU TWINS if they were produced by BRIAN ENO.
