‘In The Green Wild’ follows the main character of Loud City Song on a path out of the city and into the trees. It’s the best example yet of Holter’s playful yet focused approach to songwriting and production – her voice weaving a patiently poetic narrative through double bass, abstracted horns, cello, strings and synthesisers.
Loud City Song is Holter’s first studio album proper, continuing and furthering the singular vision of its predecessors, 2011’s debut Tragedy and last year’s Ekstasis, as she experiments with intricate arrangements of words, texture and melody to build an individual collection of songs and a unified story.
Julia Holter’s forthcoming album Loud City Song out August 20th (North America) & 19th (Rest of the world) on Domino.
