Album Notes & Community Reviews

Julia Holter's second album 'Ekstasis' is a lush, intellectually stimulating work of art pop that draws on medieval music and literary theory. Her layered, ghostly vocals float over intricate arrangements of cello, keyboards, and field recordings. It is a mesmerizing and scholarly record that remains accessible through its beautiful, floating melodies.
