Healing Is A Miracle

Pitchfork 8.3/10 The vocalist and producer Juliana Barwick’s revelatory new album asks us to picture healing at a moment when the task feels impossible.

The Line of Best Fit 7/10 Healing Is A Miracle is a magical album whose depths reveal themselves slowly even if the record itself (at only 34 minutes) disappears in the blink of an eye.

All Music 4/5 With Healing Is a Miracle, she once again manages to evolve and remain true to what has made her music special since the beginning.

The Observer 3/5 If it feels less ambitious than its predecessor, 2016’s Will – which explored acoustic settings from a Moog factory to a motorway underpass – it’s also more ravishingly beatific.

Loud and Quiet 8/10 Julianna Barwick has carved out her own niche of the genre offers an inviting, dreamy atmosphere that nourishes like a hot bath; rejuvenating, hymnal and healing.

Slant 3.5/5 The album overcomes its slightness thanks to its willingness to dabble in different textures.

Spectrum Culture 70% Barwick’s new record, though less enveloping and hymn-like than her previous records, is an invigorating work by an artist who has always been an expert in following the music wherever it needs to go.

Beats Per Minute 70% There are some really great ideas at work on this album, but too often they are not given enough attention, or they come alive right as the song is about to end.
