“Melted Moon” by Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore

Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore, will release their new album, Tragic Magic, on January 16th via InFiné. Ahead of the LP’s arrival, the duo have shared “Melted Moon”, along with a run of 2026 North American, UK, and EU tour dates. Tragic Magic was co-produced by Trevor Spencer (Fleet Foxes, Beach House)
Barwick and Lattimore were given access to the extraordinary instrument collection of the Philharmonie de Paris’ Musée de la Musique in partnership with InFiné. Lattimore selected three harps tracing the evolution of the instrument from 1728 to 1873, and Barwick chose several analog synthesizers that have shaped decades of exploratory music, including the Roland JUPITER and Sequential Circuits PROPHET-5, among other treasures.
“We were so lucky to have access to this experience. There was a lot of reverence, working with people with such warmth and enthusiasm, bringing these instruments into a modern context, literally taken off the shelves of the museum,” says Lattimore. “We wanted to honor the past while making music that we feel is a true expression of ourselves,” Barwick adds.
Following lead single and album opener, “Perpetual Adoration,” new single “Melted Moon” was written in direct response to the Los Angeles wildfires. Barwick recalls packing up her life under the dark ash clouds, “What do I need for these trips, but also, what do we need if we can’t come back to this house?” Lattimore lends a harp refrain that loops and echoes in the eventide, a measure in which she plays above as Barwick, uncharacteristically free of effects, offers her lyrics in poignant clarity, both haunting and hopeful: “Under the melted moon / The lights are all out / A strange taste in my mouth / You may never go home again / At least not the home you know.”
