julia holter albums are sometimes so wooden and peculiar it can be hard to even feel like you're meant to be enjoying it, but this track from the last album just keeps opening up and opening up

litch just did a rec for this on its own as well. but the lyrics on the landscape demo take me to pieces man.
i'm astounded by the feeling she's managed to capture here. being volatile and sad and internally inconsistent and full of want and not being able to help it. & there's so much beauty in the 'landscape' imagery and associations. wide and powerful and also just there and you're in it. i am so obsessed with her i mean what the fuck dude

I can never talk enough about Mary Lattimore's music. She's such a genius, and her vision and artistry is everything. She's been the soundtrack to my life since around 2015. I remember discovering her when I was on holiday in Rome and it was just so fitting. I've been returning to her music every now and again, and I’m always surprised with how she can make me feel so in touch with my humanity.
Recently, I've been listening to her 2016 album, Music Inspired, by Philip Garrel’s La Révélateur and it's just haunting.

It’s the instruments and sounds that does it. It sounds apocalyptic. Lots of BOOM CRASH and deep hums. Hums so deep and visceral that you start to wonder if this is what Gabriel’s horn would sound like if it were Judgement Day. It’s loud and continues to get louder and louder until you start to feel claustrophobic. Your heart starts racing and maybe you sweat a little bit. Then it manages to reach the deepest parts of your heart and you start to empathize with Joy. This must be how Joy feels being made to live with the fact that she will probably never experience a life of self-expression, vulnerability, and contentment. Her essence sucked out of her. A woman named Joy who never experienced joy in all her 30 years of living–how ironic. At the end, it’s got you looking up at the hollow sky, feeling disconnected and disillusioned, too.
