here is a new song “Evening Mood”, with a beautiful film by Dicky Bahto (link in bio) in the lyrics is the word “alove”, originating from the song Chaitius on my last album Aviary. maybe alove is a mind state. I was trying to channel oxytocin. And Ponyo was on my mind again, the fish who turns into a little girl. I was inspired by the transformability of creatures, and how this works alongside our capacity for love. Dev Hoff’s fretless bass lines are a crucial foundation for this song, and an equal counterpoint to the vocal. Chris Speed’s clarinet soars birdlike above Beth Goodfellow’s filtered heartbeat drums and Tashi Wada’s sparkling Prophet pads. Thank you to kindred spirit Dicky Bahto for this magical film for the song, and to Tatiana Luboviski-Acosta for the moving performance @beth_goodfellow —drums, percussion @thee_bass_witch —fretless bass @juliaholter —voice, Wurlitzer, lap steel guitar @chrisspeed11 —clarinet @tashiwada — Prophet 6 Produced and Arranged by Julia Holter Co-produced and Engineered by @kennethjohngilmore Tyler Karmen, @gemmacastro__ —assistant engineers @heba_kadry —mastering film by @dicky_bahto Tatiana Luboviski-Acosta @kashigoodfriends, performance Ben Neufeld, colorist Fotokem, laboratory Photo by @camille_blake styling by Mich Parilla hair and makeup by Berenice Ammann

the new album by @tashiwada “What Is Not Strange?” comes out on @rvngintl June 7 (link in bio). I had so much fun singing and playing on this gorgeous wild record, it sounds like nothing else I’ve known. for years, I’ve been inspired by Tashi’s harmony-exploring with tuning and glissandi. This record incorporates that but feels like a new direction and deeply soulful. I’ve never seen him practice keyboard so much as for this music—for months, I would find him playing scales and runs over and over, absorbing himself in the meantone tuning the songs were in. It was a joy to be a part of this recording, alongside Tashi and longtime collaborators like @coreyvogeln and @thee_bass_witch and to get to work newly with musician friends I admire like @catfact and @chrifcohen The details of Tashi’s writing and the fantastic performances show themselves distinctly in the recording of @chrifcohen and the mixing and mastering by @studioschwebung who did a beautiful job illuminating each sound so that things come through as they are, without over-production but still glistening and surreal. Thank you to the great @rvngintl for the thoughtful work releasing this record. the new video for “Grand Trine”, by the one and only @dicky_bahto feels to me like a warm embrace, a celebration of love and making stuff. Congratulations Tashi! I’m excited for the world to finally hear this. Photos by @dicky_bahto

excited for mystical song wizard @malinisridharan album “Tombeaux” coming out May 17. today she presents the first song “Charon”. This record is a beautiful odyssey of song, featuring Sridharan’s colorful large ensemble instrumental arrangements and production by me. Her songs move here from reimaginings of the work of 16th-century Indian poet Mirabai to exploring Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea afterworld, The Dry Land, to writings about her own grandmother’s death. It’s a triumphant piece of work and i’m proud to be a little part of this. link in bio photo: Jillian Eve Kron @felt_tips
