,:   Massive beams of choral light and and cavernous shoegaze-ambient  :,
:   introspection from sylph-like spirit Julianna Barwick. Her        :
:'  fourth solo LP in four years is riddled with more nuanced        ':
,:   electronic dream-pop and peppered with notable input by Jónsi     :,
:   (Sigur Rós), Mary Lattimore and Nosaj Thing.                      :

,:   “A distinctive meditation on sound, reverb and the voice,         :,
:   “Healing Is A Miracle” is a record built on improvisation and a   :
:'  close affinity to a couple of trusted items of gear, from which  ':
,:   she spins engrossing, expansive universes. Additionally, Barwick  :,
:   draws on the input of three collaborators with whom she has       :
:'  nurtured deep friendships with over the years: Jónsi (Sigur      ':
,:   Rós), Nosaj Thing and Mary Lattimore; who each gently nudge out   :,
:   at the edges of her organically-evolved sound.                    :

,:   Recorded in the wake of a seismic shift in her life following a   :,
:   move from New York—where she had lived for 16 years—to Los        :
:'  Angeles where she is now based, the title of the record came to  ':
,:   her after thinking about how the human body heals itself, of the  :,
:   miraculous processes we pay little attention to: “You cut your    :
:'  hand, it looks pretty bad, and two weeks later it looks like it  ':
,:   never happened… That’s kind of amazing, you know?” It’s a         :,
:   sentiment that feels particularly apt for the moment. From        :
:'  there, she conceived of the record’s simple statement title,     ':
,:   ran it past a couple of friends, and it was settled. Like with    :,
:   the record itself, and all of her work, it’s about following her  :
:'  gut, and seeing where it takes her.                              ':

:   “Healing Is A Miracle” began life in spring of last year, when    :
:'  Barwick sat down with her vocal looping set-up and began         ':
,:   sketching out some ideas for new solo material. “It had been so   :,
:   long since I had done that,” she recalls, “making something for   :
:'  myself, just for the love of it… it was emotional, because I     ':
,:   was recording music that was just from the heart, that wasn't     :,
:   for an 'assignment' or project… it brought me to tears a          :
:'  little”.                                                         ':

:   Part of the joy also came from a small but significant switch up  :
:'  to her recording process: the addition of some studio            ':
,:   monitors—a birthday gift from Jónsi and Alex (Somers)—having      :,
:   previously recorded all of her music on headphones. “The first    :
:'  song I remember making with those was the first song on the      ':
,:   album, Inspirit.” she explains, “When I added the bass I really   :,
:   felt it in my body, you know, in a way you just wouldn’t with     :
:'  headphones… it was kind of euphoric and fun. I got really        ':
,:   excited about making the record in that moment, and I think that  :,
:   really had an impact on the sounds I ended up making.”            :
