Julia Holter - Have You In My Wilderness flac album

The title track and last song on Julia Holter’s album Have You In My Wilderness, released on 2015. Julia wrote the song in 2011 about the idea of possessing a person. She decided to use it as the title for her album (which was originally going to be called All My Love for You) at the last minute, because it represented what she thought she was trying to do with the record, which was to make a love songs record

The music has shifted, gaining warmth and weight while remaining essentially mysterious. Instead of unpacking weighty overarching concepts, Holter is telling stories, brief and foggy ones that are often plagued by ambiguities. The composer, keyboardist and singer Julia Holter has pursued her strange, dreamlike visions across three albums of experimental pop, all released in the last three years

After drawing on Greek tragedies and MGM musicals for her earlier albums, it would be hard for Julia Holter to find loftier sources of inspiration. On Have You in My Wilderness, she recasts her ambition to a more intimate scale: where her previous album Loud City Song had the heft of a novel, these songs play like a collection of short stories.

While still dreamlike, Have You in My Wilderness, Holter’s fourth album, is something clearly felt - the ocean spray on the warm breeze, the sun baking exposed limbs, a hand glancing across your skin before drifting away. With the change in musical temperature on Have You In My Wilderness, Julia Holter’s collection is now suitable for all seasons, rather than just the cold and sheltered moments of winter.

Have You inThe sheer musical quality - instrumentally, production, compositionally - of the new Julia Holter record is absolutely astounding. Have You in My Wilderness is a serene masterpiece, with classical, enveloping string arrangements, baroque instrumentation, and Holter's beautiful voice. The detail that goes into these songs - every piano embellishment, key change, and percussion intensification: it all works together to create an ethereal, emotional experience.

Holter’s new album, her fourth, is called Have You In My Wilderness. For some reason I thought a royal park would be an apt location for us to meet and talk about it. Across from us, the Pavilion’s pearlescent awning glistens in the sun like a glowworm, albeit a worm you can sit inside and drink Fortnum & Mason tea. The setting is hardly a wilderness but, like Holter’s music, it is radiant, with layers you can get lost in. The album title reflects Holter’s ideas about relationships

The artist just dropped his latest collection Have You in My Wilderness – and we have it here for you to check out! Julia Holter's new collection includes 10 tracks on 1 disc(s) with total runtime of 46:00.

Upon the release of her 2011 album Tragedy, Julia Holter received praise as one of the most innovative avant-garde electronic artists out there. While she clearly deserved the praise she received, the categorization was inaccurate. She recorded Tragedy with primarily electronic instrumentation, but she only did so out of necessity - as a fledgling artist, she lacked the funds to hire the session musicians that would characterize much of her later work. Indeed, the songs on Have You in My Wilderness move gently with few exception at the peaceful state of many ballads - I recommend listening to this album while lying down for a nap as a uniquely peaceful experience. Lyrically, while not conventional love songs, these songs all tell stories of relationships, from the opening number, asking simply Can I feel you?

It's hard to believe the Julia Holter of 2015 also created the billowy, deconstructed pop of 2011's Tragedy It's a stark and gorgeous elegy, and a highlight on a record that's full of them. Published, Fri, 2 Oct 2015.
