Julia Holter

Electronic composer, vocalist and musician Julia Holter has been experimenting with synthesizers, layered vocals and dark electropop before it became trendy with the young Williamsburg crowd. As a result, Holter's music might fit with the trend, but is far more nuanced and mature. Based out of Los Angeles, Holter studied electronic music at CalArts and slowly built up a reputation for haunting tracks and lovely, but eerie, vocals. While her releases have always earned acclaim, her 2011 album Tragedy caught the ear of several prominent publications and garnered Holter more respect than ever.
