One of the most inventive, experimental musicians around, the Los Angeles artist returns with dream-like songs of gentle pitter-patter percussion, woozy bass, flute, whispered vocals, atmospheric, tinkling synths, and twittering woodwind summoning a surreal, twilight feel. It’s her first solo LP since 2018’s acclaimed Aviary. “I was trying to create a world that’s fluid-sounding, waterlike, evoking the body’s internal sound world,” Holter says of this flowing harmonic, twitching, alternative universe with an album title playing on lyrics of a famous Beatles number. And moves indeed she does. “What is delicious and what is omniscient?” she sings on Spinning, the album’s truly oddball, but mesmeric, incantatory centerpiece. “What is the circular magic I’m visiting?” Vocals ripple in somatic frequencies in the title track, Something in the Room She Moves. Opener Sun Girl intertwines twittering flutes and her breathy voice. The vocalisations on Meyou lends this goosebump-inducingly spooky number a beautiful unaccompanied purity. Who Brings Me, and closing track Evening Mood are among the other standouts. A late-night alternative listen of sublimely restless strangeness. Out on Domino.
