Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore Announce New Album Tragic Magic: Hear “Melted Moon”

Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore have collaborated a bit over the years, and now the two ambient artists are teaming up for a joint album. Tragic Magic arrives early next year, and “Melted Moon” is a fluttering, surreal preview out today.

For the LP, the pair was given access to the instrument collection of the Philharmonie de Paris’ Musée de la Musique. “We were so lucky to have access to this experience. There was a lot of reverence, working with people with such warmth and enthusiasm, bringing these instruments into a modern context, literally taken off the shelves of the museum,” Lattimore says. Barwick adds, “We wanted to honor the past while making music that we feel is a true expression of ourselves.”

Tragic Magic features the previously released “Perpetual Adoration,” the Roger Eno-written “Haze With No Haze,” and the Vangelis cover “Rachel’s Song.” “Melted Moon” serves as a reaction to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Lose yourself in its misty world below.
