Julia Holter is an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Born on December 18, 1984 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she has gained recognition for her unique blend of experimental pop and art music.
Inspired by a diverse range of artists such as Laurel Halo, Julianna Barwick, Oneohtrix Point Never, Jenny Hval, Tim Hecker, Women and Cate Le Bon among others. Julia's music defies genre boundaries and captivates listeners with its ethereal melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.
With her mesmerizing vocals and intricate compositions, *Julia Holter* has established herself as a prominent figure in the contemporary music scene. Her albums have received critical acclaim worldwide and continue to push the boundaries of what is considered conventional music.

Recent years brought about for Julia Holter an existential focus on human connection, amid the staggering change that came with the death of loved ones (including her young nephew, to whom the album is dedicated) and the birth of her daughter. On&nbsp;Something in the Room She Moves, Holter vividly processes the complexity, gravity, and awe of this confluence of experience. She calls the music “sensual,” “flowing,” and “nocturnal”--a testament to how love, with all of its challenges, “reroutes neural pathways.” The cover art by Holter’s childhood friend, artist Christina Quarles, highlights the multiplicity of intimate connection: are the figures embracing or in battle?

The title&nbsp;Something in the Room She Moves&nbsp;came to Holter spontaneously as she was naming the Logic project file for an early demo of what would become the album’s title track on her computer for the first time. Coincidentally, a few months later, she found herself mesmerized by the eight-hour cinéma-vérité Beatles documentary&nbsp;Get Backin 2021. Her titular phrase flips the gaze of the Beatles lyrics (“Something in the way she moves…”); the woman is no longer passively observed, but actively augmenting space. Holter has loved the Beatles since childhood, but sees the title less as a tribute than as a semi-surreal bit of automatic writing from her subconscious. (She had been singing Beatles tunes to her daughter at night.)

After a string of dream pop albums that established her searching voice in independent music—from 2012 breakthrough&nbsp;Ekstasis&nbsp;to&nbsp;Loud City Song&nbsp;and&nbsp;Have You in My Wilderness—Holter released the sprawling and thrillingly experimental&nbsp;Aviary&nbsp;in 2018. Since then, she has scored films like&nbsp;Never Rarely Sometimes Always, performed a commissioned live score for&nbsp;The Passion of Joan of Arc&nbsp;with the Chorus of Opera North, and collaborated with her partner, the musician Tashi Wada, who plays synth and bagpipes on her new album.Something in the Room She Moves&nbsp;is a remarkable progression in Holter’s oeuvre, synthesizing her free, improvisatory energy with her signature eloquence.
