Julianna Barwick

Oh, there are times when you just want your head to be soothed by music, to let it guide you into a gentle and comforting world. Other worlds, with 'other' music.

Julianna Barwick's music does this for me. A beautiful, harmonious, almost symphonic sound played in some imaginary cathedral. Her wordless vocals seesaw and loop across the electronic soundscapes she creates, and it reminds me of some of Brian Eno's work.

I'd hate to use the word ambient, so I won't. What it is though is blissful, intimate yet unreachable, hypnotic and ethereal.........
