The Miracle Theatre, Washington D.C.
March 24, 2026

Two names I have been familiar with for years, but never followed in depth, are Mary Lattimore and Julianna Barwick. A harpist, Lattimore is the musician whose work I know better; I actually have a CD of hers. Barwick, whose profile is likely higher, is an experimental vocalist, synthesizer player, and composer, whose music I periodically hear excerpted on NPR. Both, I would say, traffic in an area that edges between experimental and art music and modern classical with influences from New Age music and alternative. Barwick, particularly, comes at her work through a lens that welcomes in an ear to dissonance and ambient spaciness; she does a lot with analogue looping and modular synthesizers. Lattimore travels in an art form that to me is more background music; lush and magical but a bit ephemeral for my taste. But both get a lot of attention from Pitchfork and clearly travel in music that is alternative in distribution and aesthetic, even if not always in emotional tone. Indeed, if you heard it as background music in a cafe over brunch, you’d likely only be caught up in the surface prettiness and not any of the underlying messages.

I heard a fair amount of hype of their debut collaborative record Tragic Magic on NPR All Songs Considered, of course, and respectful interest from other venues. But it wouldn’t have been my thing except for a friend who ended up bailing on this show to see a member of Phish do a thing elsewhere in DC, which says a fair amount about the breadth of his own tastes.

So I invited Heff and we made our way to Barracks Row in Capitol Hill, the first time I’ve ever seen a band at the Miracle Theatre. It’s a vintage, neighborhood movie theater that now houses a small stage, vintage screenings of movies, and a nondenominational evangelical church. The crowd was maybe a few dozen people? Not a lot for what I envision to be an expensive show to tour, given the logistics of Lattimore’s harp, Barwick’s synthesizer and electronics, etc.

What we saw and heard was lovely and periodically gripping but a bit hard to define. The show was very concise, maybe 50 minutes, no opener, and they did most, maybe all, of Tragic Magic, periodically interspersing the yearning, dreamy, periodically unsettling music with their deeply thoughtful discussion of the songwriting process that led to the album; specifically, their residency at a museum of antique musical instruments in Paris. Collaboration was very much in the two women’s minds; not only did they develop the music together, but they tapped into an earlier inspiration, Roger Eno, who contributed a song (perhaps barely a sketch, turned into a song), and Vangelis, whose soundtrack to Blade Runner is the source of “Rachel’s Song.” I happen to barely know these earlier influences although I have some of the Roger Eno work with his better-known brother, and of course I’ve heard Vangelis soundtracks. But that genre of work isn’t in my own musical vernacular to characterize as aptly as I usually like to do.

Where I found the concert most compelling is the moments in which Lattimore and Barwick presented the context of the songs in their prefatory remarks; the discussion of the Los Angeles wildfires that threatened their homes while they were in Paris but a sense of urgency on “Melted Moon” and the sampled sounds of raindrops in their cover of “Rachel’s Song.” (Of course, the torrential rains in Blade Runner carry a very different emotional weight than the promise of rain in the midst of a catastrophic wildfire.) The friendship and mutual respect that Lattimore and Barwick enjoy also shone through in the performance; some tracks were clearly a harp showcase in which Barwick primarily was in a support role, and others allowed Barwick’s inventiveness with loops and modular synthesizers to take lead. It was altogether compelling but still basically impenetrable at times. And then, basically, the show as over, just as the mood and sensibility was starting to convey its own internal logic.

Full setlist posted by some guy named Jeff whom I feel like I have to meet, since he’s at all the same weird women-singer-songwriter gigs I attend.]]> zwirnm Trouser Press Fri, 17 Apr 2026 21:21:58 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,71013,71013#msg-71013 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,71013,71013#msg-71013 STEVE Trouser Press Thu, 16 Apr 2026 23:39:21 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,71012,71012#msg-71012 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,71012,71012#msg-71012 I've given this bands first three albums numerous spins over the last ten to twenty years. Time and time again, my response was one of ... "there's something great here, yet, it's fleeting". I was trying to grasp this band to tightly.
There's something truly magical about a bands music that reveals its beauty slowly and rewards a patient listener, like an old friend, with repeated visits.
