Julia Holter: Have You in My Wilderness review – exceptional pop built on avant-garde foundations

5/5 what up world

Alexis Petridis really seems to be struggling to review this one

Lead track kinda sounds like Vanessa Carlon tbh

Lead track does nothing for me. Then again I'm rarely in agreement with Petridis

 

[Jim Daniels]

I like her!

Sea Calls Me Home is lovely.

Only listened to her yesterday for the first time, got that Loud City Songs lp, but wow, beautiful stuff. Definitely will grab the new one.

Love that song 'In the Green Wild'. Ekstatsis is a better album though.

I'll nab that on Spotify later. Bought the new album at lunch time so that's my night sorted!

She played this last night and it was terrific. I didn't know it but knew it has to be a cover. Just looked it up last night - lovely song. Great gig too btw.

She was fantastic.

I was hoping for a few more bars of 'Stay'. Low do an amazing cover of that!

Yeah that was really enjoyable. Was a bit worried after the first couple of her tunes that it'd fall flat - quietest sell-out crowd I'd ever seen at that venue, plus Julia herself initially seemed laid-back to the point of indifference.. It got going very nicely though once they warmed up a bit and broke out a couple of the more epic tunes. Lucette on the Island and Vasquez were highlights for me. That double-bass player had some fantastically fierce muso faces, kind of an amusing contrast between Julia gazing off serenely into some dreamscape and him gurning ferociously over her shoulder.

I don't think those first couple of songs were planned. Particularly the first one, which she played to give the viola player time to fix whatever issues she was having with her equiptment.

Yer wan seemed to be having techie issues most of the evening I thought?
Highlight for me was when Julia's hair fell down.
I think a few lads lost their shit at that point!

that was gas. 2.5 songs in too so the photographers hadn't dispersed yet (3-song-rule, etc).
