Julia Holter announces new album, Aviary, shares video for lead single, “I Shall Love 2”: Watch

[News]

Julia Holter has announced a new record called Aviary. The follow-up to 2015’s Have You in My Wilderness is due out October 26th from Domino.

The art pop composer describes the 15-track effort as “the cacophony of the mind in a melting world.” She was inspired to pen the collection after reading the opening line of a 2009 short story by Etel Adnan: “I found myself in an aviary full of shrieking birds.” As Holter put it in a press release,

“Amidst all the internal and external babble we experience daily, it’s hard to find one’s foundation. I think this album is reflecting that feeling of cacophony and how one responds to it as a person – how one behaves, how one looks for love, for solace. Maybe it’s a matter of listening to and gathering the seeming madness, of forming something out of it and envisioning a future.”

As a first listen, Holter has shared the lead single “I Shall Love 2”. It comes via a Dicky Bahto-directed video, which you can watch below.

Aviary was produced by Holter herself alongside Kenny Gilmore and executive producer Cole MGN. It features the musical talents of percussionist Corey Fogel, bassist Devin Hoff, violinist/viola player/singer Dina Maccabee, trumpeter Sarah Belle Reid, violinist Andrew Tholl, and synth/bagpipes player Tashi Wada.

Pre-orders are available now through Domino, and the album artwork and tracklist are below.
