Pre-Order: Julianna Barwick * Threshold - O.S.T. [New LP]

Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore released their first ever collaboration onto the world, Tragic Magic, in January, and to close out 2026 the duo follow it up with a very different project, an original motion picture score for Threshold, a film about 4x Olympic Medalist Jessie Diggins. Mary Lattimore explains, "Fresh off of recording our album Tragic Magic in 2025, we were asked to co-score this documentary about the brilliant cross-country ski champion Jessie Diggins. While Tragic Magic had constraints of instruments we were able to use, including historic, delicate and mysterious ones, along with those constraints, we had total sonic freedom. In the case of Threshold, the sky was the limit with instrumentation and we held an expansive palette, but our music existed within the framework of Jessie's life and the vision of the directors. Holding both projects in our hands, two sides of the same coin, was challenging, mind-expanding and satisfying, in this year of making music as a duo. Jessie's story has many triumphs, thrilling races and wins, but also quite low points that feel very human and call for musical tenderness.
