Ready for a good pun....I mean a terrible one... "keep up the good work," Julianna Barwick! Man I'm creative... I hope my terrible attempts at humor do not stir you away from the artist I am about to discuss. Julianna Barwick is a Brooklyn (via Louisiana) singer, who I honestly do not know much about. All I can tell you is that her most recent release, which I believe is her first full-length LP, entitled The Magic Place, is astonishing. Along with many other bloggers/music nerds, I found out about this album because of it's "Best New Music" status at Pitchfork. Since I read that review, this album has been playing constantly at my apartment. Barwick's sound is based around large arrangements of her own voice looped, along with few instruments. Some songs enlists the accompaniment of a piano or guitar, while others are simply many Julianna Barwicks singing at once. The angelic quality to this woman's voice is just simply unmatched. The second I heard "Keep Up The Good Work," it was as if an angel came down and said, "post about her. She is the chosen one." This song, along with the rest of this remarkable album, has touched me in such a divine way. Certainly an album that I will come back to throughout the year, Julianna Barwick's The Magic Place is a must listen. I highly recommend listening to "Keep Up The Good Work" and giving the rest of the album a chance.
