I haven’t written about Julia Holter and her latest album ‘Have You In My Wilderness’ much this year. Which worries me – you might think I don’t like it, or that I was ignoring her because the quality of her output has started to dip. I’m sure you were busy wondering about all that. You were, right?

‘Have You In My Wilderness’ is an impressive album among a catalogue of consistently impressive albums. So it’s a close call, but I think it’s probably nearer the top of the list of her best work than the bottom.

Need an example? Well, just yesterday she put out the video for ‘Silhouette’, a song which perfectly displays her ability to delicately arrange instruments so that it sounds like they’re floating. Her voice then orbits this cloud of music like a bird.

Oh, and have you seen her live? You should totally do that. Luckily, she’s just announced some UK and Ireland tour dates for next February too.
