Although Julia Holter has only been singing and performing professionally since 2011, she has already released 3 full length studio albums, that have all achieved critical acclaim. Holter has a musical background, training at Arts college, and therefore was set in good stead for the launch of her career.
Her songs buzz with tension, the powerful chords and melodies played by her band leave you hanging on the edge of your seat, longing for the narrative to unfold. Her stage presence is humbling and her suspended voice hangs in the air long after she’s finished singing. She sat at her stool and was chatting to the audience in the intimate venue like we were all old friends, she really showed her appreciation for everyone’s support, and thanked people countless times.
She played tracks from her older albums as well as her newer tracks, which added a really nice variety to the evening. She spoke between her songs enough to give the audience a little insight to her lyrics, but not too much to bore you. She’s got it sorted really, the perfect balance of ballads, with her more folky sound. She really encouraged us to sing along with some of the well known songs, which was a lovely touch.
