Julia Holter “World,” from Loud City Song (out Aug. 20)
Is that a bowed upright bass I hear at the start of Bell Witch’s sad-bastard doom fest “Bails (Of Flesh)”? Don’t think it sticks around for the rest of the excerpt, but this is the kind of funeral doom howled in the midst self-flagellation. So, yeah, real upbeat stuff. Longing is out Nov. 13 on the ever-reliable Profound Lore.
