Materia

Julia Holter always knew that there was more to the song 'Materia' than what she included on her wondrous 2024 album, 'Something in the Room She Moves'. She had written the tune not long after the tours for 2018's 'Aviary' concluded, and it worked well for solo shows - er voice and piano, lyrics still morphing as she played with the meaning. But on the new 'Materia', a kind of companion LP to 'Something', Holter has realised not one but two distinct versions of the song. 'Materia 2' is a hallucinatory dream of drum machines, fretless bass, and clarinet, Holter's voice spiralling through ether alongside that of Jessika Kenney. And on 'Materia 3', intended as a hidden bonus track in an homage to the CD era of her youth, Holter literally slows down the take from 'Something'. The change not only emphasises the unpredictable glory of the harmonies within but also reiterates the song's emotional sophistication, the sense that it's about learning how to live.
