The Northside Festival kicks off tomorrow night at 5pm and if you haven’t checked the schedule out yet, I recommend getting on it quick as there are tons of options and many decisions that need to be made. While Northside has the official schedule, Tom, who writes the “What Ales You” column for The WG, posted his recommendations in an easily accessible Google Calendar, which you can check out here. Of Tom’s suggestions, one which I undoubtedly support is checking out Brooklyn-based soundscapist Julianna Barwick, who plays tomorrow night at Cameo, the new venue behind The Loving Cup. Barwick just released Florine, an EP of material that finds her taking the melodic vocal loops established on Sanguine to the astral plane. In addition to her showcase at Northside, Julianna is also in the middle of a residency at Piano’s, which continues tonight. If you haven’t heard Ms. Barwick’s music, you can do so for free over at Daytrotter, where “You Were Waiting” and other choice examples of her sentient above the clouds sound can be found. Ducktails, aka Matt Mondanile of Real Estate and Predator Vision, will play right before Barwick, making Cameo one of the premier destinations on the first night of the festival.
