Where Lucrecia Dalt is indeed a civil engineer, Julia Holter’s urbanely transcendent Loud City Song reconstructs Gigi between the overpasses of a whipSmart Los Angeles. The two have already appeared together on “Silencio,” from Dalt’s Commotus, and in between bouts of jumping up and down with excitement, the presumed audience probably wondered whether the title of that collaborative track prefigures a Cageian nod to the spaces between that’s so important to the blueprints of both artists’ work or a Lynchian breaking of sound’s fourth wall.
Either way, Lucrecia Dalt and Julia Holter have announced a joint tour of Europe, the former set to release Syzygy on October 15 and the latter still glowing from her latest album, Loud City Song. The performance art crowd is buzzing with rumors that titillatingly toxic scopolamine-laced cheese will be dished up as an entrée; however, it will not be served to any patron who is already mesosticated.
Check below for Dalt’s new track “Glosolalia” (which we premiered yesterday) and Holter’s new video for “This Is a True Heart,” followed by the tourdates.
