Julia Holter Instagram – Excited to announce the first vinyl pressing (and first physical format) of my score for Eliza Hittman’s “Never Rarely Sometimes Always”, a masterpiece of a film. Release is out July 12 on @realgonemusic —pre-order now (link in bio). Whether or not I had been involved with this project, I would say it is one of the most important films to have come out in a long time, and every aspect of it is beautifully made. A teenager’s quest for an abortion is full of insane obstacles and the story is told with such depth and sensitivity. Hittman’s writing and direction is incredible —she gets at the nuance of each emotion and at every detail—and the performances by Sidney Flanigan and Talia Ryder are devastating. Also was honored to be a part of this project alongside @sharonvanhalen ‘s moving performance. This film is quiet and intricate, and so the score is not a bombastic, high-energy sonic rollercoaster—it’s more an underlining of all the complex emotions. I tried to harmonize with the bus sounds, to tune to the film’s environment, trying to consider each subtle movement. It was a wonderful journey to be a part of this and happy @realgonemusic is releasing this on vinyl for more to hear.
Thank you so much to these exceptional musicians who made the score happen:
Julia Holter: Synth, Piano, Vocals, additional Cello
Christin Hablewitz: B Flat and Bass Clarinet
Christopher Votek: Cello
Sharon Cheslow: Electronics
