Barwick, who credits a rural, church choir upbringing for her unique sound, begins most tracks with a single phrase or refrain, then uses a loop station and the occasional piano or percussive instrument to build the song into a swirling mass of lush, ambient folk. She released her first two collections of songs, the full-length Sanguine and the EP Florine, in 2009 and 2010, respectively, before issuing her Asthmatic Kitty debut, The Magic Place, in 2011. Later that year she released a remix album, Matrimony Remixed, followed by another full-length album in 2013 called Nepenthe.
Lacking definable lyrics, Julianna's songs create their own themes sonically and leave nameless emotional impressions. Julianna's talents as a vocalist push most of the musical strength in the album, her choice of melodic vocal overdubs with vocal percussion is fascinating and dizzying. Some sounds become as indecipherable as the human voice. Comparable to Björk's Medulla approach to end instrumentation, most of the tracks are all vocal based. Julianna's all vocal album has less of a political method behind it as does Björk's Medulla; it's based more on her natural approach to songwriting: spontaneously improving and recording immediately. Many of the songs were written on the fly.

I like this song very much! It was one of my favorite 13 songs of 2014! It really resonated very much with me! I feel so connected with The Harbinger and also with the music of Julianna Barwick! It was for me also very special to see her live in June 2016 in Holland! She played a wonderfull show and decided to do an encore. She asked if someone had a suggestion for a song and I asked for the Harbinger. She was so kind to play it! I felt so special and it was so good to hear her playing The Harbinger live! I have listen a lot to it during yoga and mediation practise and I felt so connected with that joy full state
of mind that I always had when I listen to the Harbinger during yoga and mediation. It was a wonderfull gesture of Julianna and I am very gratefull that she played the Harbinger for me and I felt very special! It was one of the nicest moments of my life!
