top records of 2011. 13. Julianna Barwick - The Magic Place


13. JULIANNA BARWICK - THE MAGIC PLACE

This is chamber music. Not like the Wu Tang mind. I mean when we float around and meditate. Hardly new age, or Enya as people inevitably compare this to. It's not as glee, it's more sleepy, even more ethereal. I dread to think how many times that word has been used to describe this kind of music. In an image, it's the feeling when you wake up in the morning and realize it's the weekend and you don't have to go to work.

You won't hear this record played over and over in your head as it feels like one body of work compared to catchy tunes. You won't hear it played in elevators either as it's too rich and layered for that. You could however, benefit from having it on repeat on your i-Tunes as its that kind of experience, one that you'll be happy to have time and time again, in close succession.

Magic.
