Julia Holter has shared a new song. âThe Laugh Is in the Eyesâ is a holdover from the sessions for Holterâs 2024 LP, Something in the Room She Moves, and takes its title from a lyric on that albumâs âSpinning.â Listen to the new track below.
Holter made âThe Laugh Is in the Eyesâ with percussionist Elizabeth Goodfellow; fretless bassist Devra Hoff; clarinetist Chris Speed; synthesizer player Tashi Wada; co-producer and engineer Kenny Gilmore; and mastering engineer Heba Kadry. ââThe Laugh Is in the Eyesâ came out of the Something in the Room She Moves writing sessions and it shares that albumâs devotion to transformation and bodily senses,â Holter stated. âThereâs a loopy restlessness, a rhythmic 5ness alongside a 4ness, a circle and a square. Like in the song âSpinning,â a surprise awakening awaits in the state of ânightââfrom stagnancy to the anticipation of flowers, flutes, feeling.â
