Julia Holter is releasing a new album, titled Materia.
Comprised of seven tracks, it’s billed as a companion LP to Holter’s 2024 record Something In The Room She Moves. The new album features new songs written and recorded with Holter’s band in between tours, reinventions of material from the 2024 LP, and songs first conceived around the making of that record.
To mark the announcement of Materia, Holter has shared lead single ‘Fantasy’, which you can watch a video for below.
In a statement about the track, she said: “This song of seeming wilful 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. It’s dancey, 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.”
Domino will release Materia on 21 August 2026.
