 Notes  
     Los Angeles-based composer/multi-instrumentalist Julia Holter blurs the
     boundaries between indie music, modern composition, and electronic music in
     her own work as well as her collaborations, which include work with Nite
     Jewel's Ramona Gonzalez and underground folk icon Linda Perhacs. Holter
     grew up in a musically inclined family - her father is a guitarist who once
     played with Pete Seeger - and studied electronic music at CalArts. After
     graduation, she began releasing music at a prolific rate.
     After drawing on Greek tragedies and MGM musicals for her earlier albums,
     it would be hard for Julia Holter to find loftier sources of inspiration.
     On "Have You In My Wilderness", she recasts her ambition to a more intimate
     scale: where her previous album "Loud City Song" had the heft of a novel,
     these songs play like a collection of short stories. Indeed, Holter remains
     as literary as ever; her influences include Christopher Isherwood's "The
     Berlin Stories" - with Holter taking a sultry, Sally Bowles-meets-Nico turn
     on the torchy "How Long" - as well as the novella Chance Acquaintances by
     Colette, whose Gigi begat "Loud City Song".
     "Wilderness" bite-sized approach makes it easier to savor the breathtaking
     beauty of Holter's music, and fits her meditations on closeness and
     distance. The 'you' and 'me' implied in the album title are united, and
     separated, by unpredictable emotions ('Show me how you make your second
     face', she urges a lover on 'Night Song'). While songs like the charming
     opener "Feel You," which offers a glimpse of a rainy day in Mexico City
     with a companion who might not even be real, aren't strictly
     autobiographical, they feel genuine. "Loud City Song" started this warming
     trend, most palpably on the gorgeous, slow-motion deconstruction of Barbara
     Lewis' "Hello Stranger."
     A similar tenderness graces "Have You In My Wilderness" title track: even
     as Holter asks 'Why do I feel you running away?' she sounds nearer than
     ever, thanks to producer Cole Marsden Greif-Neill's spotlight on her
     vocals. The clarity of her voice matches the immediacy of her writing,
     which manifests itself in remarkably catchy songs like "Everytime Boots"'
     country-pop, and in some of her most sensuous imagery. She notes how sweet
     a boxful of oranges smells, and how clear water looks; indeed, water is at
     the heart of "Wilderness", from the flow of its songs to the way its
     characters are surrounded and isolated by it.
     "Lucette Stranded On The Island" sounds as beautiful, vast, and dangerous
     as the sea, with angelic strings, piano, and harmonies giving a deceptive
     sweetness to its tale of a woman robbed and left to die by her lover. "Sea
     Calls Me Home" dives into uneasy freedom as Holter cries 'I can't swim!'
     while the harpsichords from the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" compel her
     deeper into the waves. As always, Holter's adventurous choices are much
     more than theoretical exercises.
     The escalating strings and prepared piano ratchet the tension of "Betsy On
     The Roof" to almost unbearable levels, while "Vasquez"'s spacy jazz fusion
     is fittingly mercurial as it ponders who the good and bad guys really are.
     While it's tempting to say "Have You In My Wilderness" is her most personal
     music yet, it might be more accurate to say that it's her most
     approachable: this time, her brilliance demands a lot from her listeners,
     but also meets them more than halfway.
