Originally released in 2011, Julianna Barwick’s debut full length “The Magic Place” is a nine-piece full-length album of magic and solace, bursting joy, and healing tones. Julianna’s mostly a cappella music is built from her multi-tracked and looped voice, with backing instrumentation, but it’s the vocals-soaring high in reverb-drenched, wordless harmonies-that matter most here. Layered fragments and pieces become an intricate pattern through electronics; it’s the sound of a rising thing, a big group harmony as a splash of sunlight through a car window, a sound that feels like hope and ascendance and patience and intimacy. Out of print for years, this 2024 version has been fully remastered by Heba Kadry, and available through Julianna’s “Florid Recordings”, the imprint she started in 2006 to self release her earliest recordings. There’s a very particular joy in listening to Barwick’s music. Free of the constraints of narrative and traceable language,
