Julia Holter has announced Materia, a companion album to her 2024 album Something in the Room She Moves. The seven-track is billed as “a sequel of sorts,” featuring new songs written and recorded with her band in between tours, tracks first conceived around the making of the 2024 record, as well as two reimaginings of the titular track. Check out the disorientingly radiant new single ‘Fantasy’ below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
‘Fantasy’ comes paired with a video directed by Dicky Bahto in collaboration with Holter. “This song of seeming willful 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,” Holter shared. “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.”
