julianna barwick

Tags: ambient, dream pop, drone, experimental, folk

Summary: Lacking definable lyrics, Julianna's songs create their own themes sonically and leave nameless emotional impressions. Julianna's talents as a vocalist push most of the musical strength in the album, her choice of melodic vocal overdubs with vocal percussion is fascinating and dizzying. Some sounds become as indecipherable as the human voice. Comparable to Björk's Medulla approach to end instrumentation, most of the tracks are all vocal based.

No Upcoming Shows Scheduled.

Emusic (2009)

When someone describes an album as “hmmm, I dunno, sort of like Enya if she were from Brooklyn” — that person is not setting you up for success with said album.
