Released earlier in the year in the US, Julia Holter's second album gets a welcome reissue in the UK by Domino, not least since it will feature on many end-of-year lists. Holter, a graduate in composition, marries a gauzy, bedroom-pop sensibility with formal rigour. More immediate songs such as In the Same Room are ineffably breezy, while other tracks illustrate her handle on ancient Greece (This is Ekstasis) and the uncommon control she has over textures and motifs, atmospheres and vocoders – somewhere between Laurie Anderson and Grimes.
