Julia Holter Instagram – Alex Temple’s “Behind the Wallpaper” is out now, performed by @spektralquartet and me. Her writing here is so beautiful and the arrangement so idiomatic for the strings and my voice (have never had someone write so meticulously for my voice). These songs always move me very much to sing and I know they will move listeners. Alex was writing this piece while going through a gender transition, and, while the songs live in a wild space far beyond autobiographical experience, her poetic exploration of feelings of otherness and surreality will resonate with so many. I’m excited for the opportunity for more people to experience this important and timeless work.
