\"Julia<\/p>\n

At the end of last<\/a> year, Julia Holter<\/a> signed to Domino<\/a> who re-released her somophore album Ekstasis<\/em>. Its follow up and also her first proper album release on the label, Loud City Song<\/em>, has just been announced.
\nAccording to the press release, Collette\u2019s 1944 novella Gigi, the work of Joni Mitchell and the poetry of Frank O\u2019Hara have inspired her upcoming record.
\nLoud City Song<\/em> is described as “both a continuation and a furthering of the fiercely singular and focused vision displayed by its predecessors, taking as it does Holter\u2019s rare gift for merging high concept, compositional prowess and experimentation with pop sensibility and applying it to a set of even more daringly beautiful arrangements and emotionally resonant songs”.<\/p>\n

The album is due out on August 19th but ahead of it, she is seducing our ears with the opening track \u2018World\u2019 and an accompanying video directed by Rick Bahto.<\/p>\n
