Julia Holter Bathes Webster Hall in Sumptuous New Music on Friday Night

Julia Holter – Webster Hall – May 17, 2024

Some artists dip in and out of your life as you cycle through the ebbs and flows of the day-to-day. I’d followed Julia Holter from her start in the 2010s but for some reason waivered in my attention. When she provided music for the 2020 film Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Holter popped back into my mind, and it made so much sense that soundtracks had become part of her repertoire. She naturally produces soundscapes that envelop your soul from her art-pop sensibilities that flow between ambient and electronic waves.

NPR’s Lars Gotrich describes her best: “Julia Holter’s music exists in tiny universes, colliding in torch songs and bits of cosmic cabaret that are as reverent as they are perverse. The most minute details and the plainest words suddenly form a grandiose spectacle.” Holter continues experimenting with her sixth studio album, Something in the Room She Moves, which dropped in March and offers tinges of jazzy blues notes. On Friday night at Webster Hall, the Los Angeles musician bathed the room in sumptuous melodies.

With Dicky Bahto’s film For Julia Holter (no. 1) projected throughout the night, the stage was set for art school band vibes. Holter opened with “Sun Girl,” with Devin Hoff banging the neck of his bass to provide a percussive, reverbing beat. Longtime collaborator and spouse Tashi Wada played bagpipes on “Silhouette” as the singer released sirenlike howls. Fan-favorite “Marienbad” arrived earlier than intended after Holter prematurely played its opening keys to the crowd’s delight. She went with it, jokingly saying, “This is ‘Feel You’,” which was actually the next song.

The singer-songwriter-composer-producer delighted in the joy of playing in New York City, allowing her to welcome several guests to the stage. Opener Nyokabi Kariũki and singers Gemma Castro and Ana Roxanne joined Holter for an a cappella version of “Meyou,” and in the set’s second half, saxophonist Danny Meyer gave an extra bluesy longing to “These Morning” and “Talking to the Whisper.” The headliner returned to older material on “Sea Calls Me Home,” and drummer Beth Goodfellow provided backing vocals on “I Shall Love 2.” For the encore, Holter did a solo rendition of “Materia” before the band returned to conclude with “Why Sad Song” and crowd-pleaser “Betsy on the Roof.” —Sharlene Chiu | @Shar0c

Bakugou’s always gone to bed really early, you hear. So it doesn’t surprise you in the early days of your relationship when most nights you find yourself climbing into bed after he’s already been asleep for a while.

But those first couple times, no matter how quiet and careful you try to be, you always wake him.

He transitions from sleep to wakefulness in a heartbeat, startling you. Pinning you down, pressing you into the bed with his body, before his eyes even have the chance to register what’s in front of him. Hero reflexes, you guess.

Gradually, he gets used to it. Used to you being part of how he begins his days and ends his nights. And you make an effort to go to bed earlier, conscious of the fatigue that sometimes settles into his shoulders, his face.

These days when you crawl into bed, he stays asleep—for the most part. Some part of his brain stirs, his body reacts, because he always pulls you in close, mutters your name. He only settles once you say his name back, the lines of his body relaxing against yours.

Watched this on a plane from Manchester to New York. Not exactly in the holiday mood, but a powerful, provocative film about a young woman seeking an abortion. Subtle drawing out of her trauma, and on a macro scale, the exploitation of young women and girls. The meetings with often well meaning individuals about the abortion. The questions. The barriers, the cost. The dehumanising nature of it all. Strong acting throughout and a passionate message.
