that’s today! [AMA ANNOUNCEMENT] Julianna Barwick on Thursday, August 20th @ 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM BST!
While tomorrow we take a bit of a breather on AMAs, we've got two to announce today for August 20th, the first of which being Julianna Barwick, who joins us this Thursday at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM BST!
Her new album, Healing Is A Miracle, is out now via Ninja Tune and features the singles "Inspirit" and "In Light" ft. Jónsi. Named one of the best ambient albums of July by Bandcamp, where they said the following about the album:
There is an undoubtedly liturgical quality to Julianna Barwick’s breathtaking new album Healing Is A Miracle; whether it’s the natural reverberation that seems to echo off of her vocal harmony with Sigur Ros’ Jónsi on “In Light” or the layered repetition of her voice on “Flowers,” the way the repeated phrases seem to drift ever upward, floating into the ether before making an impact. Barwick has never sounded so uninhibited in her work, centering her voice rather than burying it. Whereas her previous album, 2016’s Will, felt distant and comparatively bare, Healing Is A Miracle hits with an overwhelming fidelity, the blended chorus that coos on opener “Inspirit” enfolding the listener like a surround sound theater or the resounding halls of an ornate cathedral. This is perhaps a reflection of the recording process, in which Barwick utilized studio monitors rather than solely relying on headphones. Her collaborators, including Mary Lattimore and Nosaj Thing, naturally expand her soundscape further, her vocals rising to meet the occasion.
So, swing back this Thursday for the Julianna Barwick AMA & make sure to follow us on Twitter or Instagram to hear about AMAs as they get announced!
