GIG Julia Holter Holter has just released her fif
th album Aviary, a complex 90-minute sweep of sounds and thoughts on the chaos of now. There’s the crash of cymbals, the caterwauling of bagpipes, the stabbing of strings and the jumble of percussion. Words drenched in nonlinear enlightenment dip and soar with Holter deftly controlling its kite path. The thought of all of this coming to a stage is quite thrilling.
