From Nora : "our flier kinda scares me in an "end of the world omggonnadieeeee" kind of way" poptarts: buy tickets here This way, you can hang out with us, which is rad.
I guess I was being selfish. It's not like Julianna Barwick is even all that much of a secret anymore, especially after her recent Pitchfork coverage. But Barwick's Florine EP is a record that I haven't really told anyone about. It hasn't made it on any of my recent mixes and I've avoided playing it around friends. It's such a great piece of music that I wanted to keep it all to myself. That seems contradictory, I know, but who doesn't have those few things they want to keep private, a secret only they know? But as I [...]

Track: Julianna Barwick- "Anjos" (7)MP3: Julianna Barwick- "Cloudbank"For more on Julianna, go here or here.
Julianna Barwick - Bode I don't jnow how she does it, but Julianna Barwick consistently manages to create a symphony just from her voice. It's uplifting, soulful and barely needs any musical accompaniment. 'Bode' is the closing track on her new EP, Florine , which is a sea of sound worth treasuring.

Something about the name Julianna Barwick makes me think of country singers with tremorous, incredible voices, or classically trained violinists who'll gain acclaim and awards but never chart success. That kinda thing. But while Julianna does seem to have a lovely warble, her stuff is much more unusual and ephemeral, particularly latest song Choose. It's [...]

Julianna Barwick - "Choose" Looping and layering vocal tracks is nothing new, but Julianna Barwick's compositions are so effective in subtly shifting familiar sounds that the soothing waves of her voice are at once comforting and vaguely alien. There is a strong minimalist influence in her work, and this track in particular sounds like it could be Steve Reich conducting a women's choir, but the music is not stiff and academic. Quite to the contrary, it is difficult to escape the emotional pull in these songs, even when it is nearly impossible to accurately identify what feelings [...]

Who : Julianna Barwick from Brooklyn. What : For fans of lush layers, angelic harmonies and looping ethereals reminiscent of Panda Bear , get lost in the music of Julianna Barwick . Could it be a soundtrack to your next underwater dive or daydream? Probably. For what some might describe as wordless music, I think she's saying quite a lot. This one comes from the EP Florine, check it out. Song : Bode .
I will be back in the states tomorow. Here are some things I've been holding onto. All of them are amazing. DJ Kaos - Love The Night Away (Tiedye Mix) Julianna Barwick - Bode Julianna Barwick - Dancing With Friends Free Energy - Dream City
Not being a churchgoer, It's not often that I run into music involving large groups of people singing.Brooklyn's Julianna Barwick isn't a large group of people, but she sounds like one. With looped pianos and synths, she builds an empire of echoed voices that float into the heavens and make our lord and savior--Frank Zappa, amen--consider rewriting some of the old hymnals.Julianna has a new EP
via Auditory Threshold This past weekend, L Magazine cured NYC's SXSW envy with the first Northside Festival , a music and art-filled four days in North Brooklyn. Known for being musician and artist friendly, Williamsburg and Greenpoint were the obvious choice locales for a Brooklyn-based music festival. With a dense population of music stages and art galleries, North Brooklyn is dream come true for a music lover, and I thank L Magazine for taking full advantage of the local culture for the festival.

Photos and words by Rez Avissar I remember very clearly the first time I heard Julianna Barwick . I was listening to the Portuguese radio show Má Fama , two summers ago. First, came "Unt. 4," a simple, repetitive and haunting tune that drew me in and piqued my curiosities. When that tune segued into "Dancing With Friends," that's when I knew I had found a great artist. "Dancing With Friends" is a song that evokes warm [...]
Neon Indian - "Should Have Taken Acid With You" I don't know about my other children of the 90s out there, but my patience with songs exalting dumb adolescence is unravelling a bit. It says nothing to me about my life , you know? But, since what feels like 70% of all pop songs dwells on the young and dunderheaded, a few have to slip through the gate occasionally. At least this one, by Austin/Brooklyn hookup Neon Indian, throws in a few universal phrases that haven't been consistently mined for lyrics. How [...]
also, mal reinhören und sich den klängen des brooklyner eigengewächses, nachwuchszüchtung galore!, hingeben. die tourdaten verraten nicht, dass sie demnächst bei uns antreten wird. die dirty projectors hatten sie doch neulich im gepäck. wären sie doch mal über den teich gehüpft. randnotiz: hund higgins mag juliana, er verdreht versonnen die augen und schielt mich von unten her linsend an. vielleicht wird der bursche noch zu einem qualitätsmessinstrument. pandatone juliana barwick - untitled 3 (2007) juliana barwick - dancing with friends (2007) juliana [...]
Without uttering a word, Julianna Barwick can express more emotion with her voice than some of the most weathered lyrical masters can ever hope to. Just as on her Sanguine album, the Florine EP works loops of Barwick's angelic voice into soaring textures that reverberate with sadness, hope, ennui and a dozen other conflicting emotions that defy description. She blurs the lines between secular and choral, allowing music to hit you in the same wondrous and indefinable ways it did as a small child, before the words had meanings and only the interwoven chords came [...]
