Album Review: Julia Holter - In The Same Room

Christopher H James

"This carefully crafted entity should make hardcore fans go giddy."

More Julia Holter Julia Holter Profile

A "sort of live" album, In The Same Room was recorded over two days in RAK studios near London's posh Regent's Park.

Holter may not be the most explosive or intensely magnetic presence on stage, but this carefully crafted entity should make hardcore fans go giddy at hearing intricately remoulded versions. Among a Have You In My Wilderness heavy set, early obscurity So Lillies in particular is radically reinvented. Despite Silhouette revelling in a near orgasmic crescendo, In The Same Room is a thoughtful live album if ever there was one.
