Julia Holter, "Feel You"

Tragedy, Julia Holter’s debut, was released at the end of 2011, so she still feels “new” to me, but she’s not. She’s not new. 2011 was almost five years ago. The minutes and hours days and months keep passing us by, and they are rapidly gathering speed. The plodding pace at which time once advanced has now accelerated at an almost incomprehensible rate and we hurtle inexorably toward death without a chance to catch our breath or clutch a current moment to our chest. In just a second your future will be written on a page you have already flipped past and all your hopes and fears will come to nothing. Your life is written on water and the water drains away. Julia Holter’s fourth album, Have You In My Wilderness, is out at the end of September. Enjoy.
