Inner Ear Serenity


Julia Holter “Whether”

“Whether” feels unstable and frantic from the start, with a staccato organ that could pass for a clock alarm, and a beat that feels like it’s always tumbling apart. But within that, Julia Holter sounds remarkably peaceful and focused. Her lyrics are observational, almost journalistic in tone, as though she’s just singing from notes jotted down in a diary while traveling. Her vocal is oddly clipped, as though her vocal take is buffering from a bad connection. It’s a very strange mood to sustain for three minutes, but it definitely sounds cool.

Buy it from Amazon.
