Will

"There's enough repetition to draw you into its ambient landscape, but enough deviation to provide surprise and detail. The focus constantly drifts - between Barwick's vocal and the textures which surround her; between electronics and organic instrumentation; between repetition and loosely improvised wandering. Nothing stays in sharp relief for long. It all recedes into clean, white space; Barwick's looping voice surrounded by sound in soft focus".

"Julianna Barwick's Will is a looser, less polished album than Nepenthe, and that rough-around-the-edges intimacy turns out to be a great part of its charm ... Will may at first seem small, private, and modestly appointed-just a room with a piano, a synthesizer, and a looping pedal-but once you settle in, it feels as vast as the universe in there".

"An intentionally fragmented portrait of change, Will's cracks show the growth in Barwick's music, and its pieces are facets that allow different aspects of her talent to shine".
