Julia Holter Announces New Album Materia

Julia Holter isn’t finished with the themes of her 2024 LP Something in the Room She Moves just yet. The art-pop composer and singer-songwriter revealed she’s got a new album on the way ( Materia , out August 21 via Domino) that functions as a companion record. Check out the single “Fantasy” and its Dicky Bahto-directed video below.

“This song of seeming willful abandon was somehow the most laborious undertaking of the entire record—it took over a year and went through various transformations—and I love that contradiction,” Holter said in a statement. “It’s dance-y, it feels to me like a kind of conjuring. And amidst the momentum of reverie, there’s the line ‘Blink at the light and hope to survive,’ because daydreams in a fascist state can be scary too. I was trying to find the right sanguine tempo.”

In press materials, Materia is described as a collection of new songs written and recorded with Holter’s band between tours, including multiple reinventions of the Something in the Room She Moves cut “Materia,” along with a few tracks conceived around the making of that album. One of those songs, “My Twin,” is a 10-minute solo improvisation by Holter.
