Julia Holter: Aviary
Genre: Ambient/Pop/Experimental
Label: Domino Recording Co.
Julia Holter has emerged over the past decade – and especially in the last five years – as one of the premier experimental artists in pop. 2013’s Loud City Song and 2015’s Have You In My Wilderness were both different strands of beautiful, offering breathtaking melodies atop mesmerizing soundscapes. Aviary figures to keep the trend going, as we witness Holter in her prime and at the top of her collective game. Dip your feet into “I Shall Love 2”, the album’s lead single, below:
