Julia Holter - I Shall Love 2 (Official Video)
"Aviary" by Julia Holter is one of the best albums of 2018.
Like her other works, it rarely appears in the many year-end lists.
Her music remains confined to a circle of devoted listeners. It is captivating yet navigates border territories where sophistication meets pop. Too pop for the "cultured" listens, yet too sophisticated for "pop" audiences. This positioning on a fine line is costing her in terms of popularity, despite consistently producing work that exceeds the average. Just one listen of "Aviary" makes it clear that we are in the presence of a Superior artist, worthy of greater attention. But that's how the world goes.
