Today, Wild Up — the multiple-time GRAMMY®-nominated contemporary music ensemble that has been called “a raucous, grungy, irresistibly exuberant … fun-loving, exceptionally virtuosic family” by The New York Times and turned in a stunning NPR Tiny Desk performance last year — announces Julius Eastman Vol. 4: The Holy Presence, out June 21, 2024 via New Amsterdam Records. 

Accompanying the album announcement is the lead track, “Our Father,” an accompanied duet with both vocal parts performed by Davóne Tines. With open harmonies that gesture toward Gregorian chant but are imbued with a dark reverence suiting the unknowable mystery of a higher power and the eternal stakes of mortal souls, “Our Father” will, for many, expose an idiosyncratic yet almost traditionalist side of Eastman’s ever-evolving sound.
