In re-writing the first line of “Something” by George Harrison, Julia Holter found the title for her sixth album. The American devoured the documentary Get Back, which follows the Beatles in the preparation of their final concert, fascinated by their collective rivalry. Although she may dream of collaborations, the songwriter remains a lone ranger. Since becoming a mother after Aviary (2018), she paints more fluid landscapes where the body predominates. It also appears on the album cover, illustrated by Cristina Quarles. “There’s a corporeal focus, inspired by the complexity and transformability of our bodies,” she explains. It’s undoubtedly for this reason that her voice, unburdened by affect or melancholy, is so very present.


In order to inform her approach of fluidity, the multi-instrumentalist claims to have been inspired by Miyaki’s animated film Ponyo, in which a little fish girl wants to become human. Less partial to overly-complex sonoric layering this time around, she has created more pared-down textures which lie somewhere between minimalism, avant-gardism, and chamber pop, where clutter quickly makes way for silence. From melodic exploration (“Something in the Room She Moves”) to the search for refinement with “Meyou,” a vocal piece made up of glissandos which calls upon her love for Renaissance polyphony, from the muted, dreamlike brass instruments on “These Morning,” to the ambient layers of “Ocean,” from the luxuriant instrumentation of “Sun Girl” or “Spinning,” to the jazz dissonances and delays of “Talking to the Whisper,” all is in perpetual movement. "Something in the Room She Moves” adds yet another gem to the impeccable discography of the elusive genius that is Julia Holter. © Charlotte Saintoin/Qobuz
