Julia Holter announces new album "Materia". Listen to the single "Fantasy"

Two years on from “Something In The Room She Moves“, Julia Holter has announced her new album “Materia”, out August 21 via Domino Recording Company. The record is presented as a companion piece to its predecessor and is preceded by the single “Fantasy”, already available along with a video directed by Dicky Bahto. Speaking about the track, Holter revealed it was actually the most complex piece on the whole project: “This song, which gives the impression of a willing surrender, was actually the most laborious one on the album. It took over a year of work and countless transformations. I love that contradiction”. The artist described “Fantasy” as a dancing, almost dreamlike track, yet one running through with a subtle tension: “Within the rush of the daydream there's the line 'blink at the light and hope to survive', because even daydreaming can be unsettling in a fascist state. I was looking for the right tempo, bright but not naive”.

“Materia” marks the return of the same lineup that backed Holter on her previous album: Elizabeth Goodfellow on drums, Devra Hoff on fretless bass, Maia on flute, Chris Speed on sax and clarinet, Tashi Wada on synthesizers, and Kenny Gilmore as co-producer, engineer and mixer.

1. The Laugh is in The Eyes
