Julia Holter’s ”Something in the Room She Moves“ Album Download Leak MP3 ZIP Files
Julia Holter has announced the details of her upcoming album titled “Something in the Room She Moves”, which is set to release on March 22, 2024, via Domino Recording Company.
This is Holter’s sixth album and the first in over five years since her last album titled “Aviary”. The album includes the lead single “Spinning,” which came with a music video directed by Giraffe Studios, and “Sun Girl,” which was released earlier in November 2023, along with a music video directed by animator Tammy Nguyễn.
Holter said that “Something in the Room She Moves” is partly written in response to the loss of her loved ones, including her young nephew, to whom the album is dedicated. The album has a corporeal focus, inspired by the complexity and transformability of our bodies. Holter’s partner Tashi Wada plays synth and bagpipes on the record.
Holter has also announced a tour in support of the album that begins in May 2024, with a show at Los Angeles venue El Rey. Prior to the album’s announcement, Holter provided scores for Never Rarely Sometimes Always and the 2020 Karen Dalton documentary In My Own Time, moving into the world of film.
The album’s third single, “Evening Mood,” was released on February 28, along with a music video directed by Dicky Bahto, featuring dancer Tatiana Luboviski-Acosta. The Arts Desk’s Mark Kidel called “Something in the Room She Moves” one of Holter’s most adventurous albums yet, inhabiting a world where nothing is certain, narratives are disjointed, and the listener’s imagination is left to run free.

Julia Shammas Holter is an American singer-songwriter, composer, record producer, artist, and academic based in Los Angeles. She was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but her family moved to Los Angeles when she was six years old.
Julia attended Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles and later studied music at the University of Michigan, where she earned a degree in composition. She was inspired to study with Michael Pisaro at CalArts after seeing him perform an avant-garde composition in Michigan. She graduated from CalArts with another composition program.
Julia contributed songs to multiple compilation albums in 2008. In 2010, she released a CD-R titled Celebration and a collection of live recordings. Following three independently produced albums, Holter’s official debut album, Tragedy, was released in August 2011 on Leaving Records. The album was inspired by Euripides’ Greek play Hippolytus and received generally favorable reviews. It was named one of NPR’s “Best Outer Sound Albums of 2011”.
Holter’s second album, Ekstasis, was released in March 2012 on the RVNG Intl. label. The album received many positive reviews and drew comparisons to works by artists like Laurie Anderson, Julianna Barwick, and Kate Bush. Holter spent three years making the album, whose title comes from the Greek word meaning “outside of oneself.” Holter collaborated with other California-based musicians like Nite Jewel (Ramona Gonzalez) and Linda Perhacs.
Her third album, Loud City Song, was released in August 2013 on Domino Records. Unlike her preceding albums, which were recorded mostly alone in her bedroom, Holter recorded Loud City Song with an ensemble of musicians.
In 2015, Holter released the album Have You in My Wilderness, which became her most successful charting release to date. She also contributed to Ducktails’ fifth studio album, St. Catherine, with her bandmates Chris Votek and Andrew Tholl.
Holter collaborated with Jean-Michel Jarre on a song for the second part of the Electronica double album, released on July 18, 2016. In November 2016, she curated her own program during the tenth-anniversary edition of Le Guess Who? Festival in Utrecht. This program included performances by Laurel Halo, Josephine Foster, Maya Dunietz, Jessica Moss, and other artists.
In September 2017, Holter performed a world premiere of her scoring of the 1928 silent French film The Passion of Joan of Arc on September 29 at the FIGat7th in downtown Los Angeles. In September 2018, she announced her fifth commercially released album, Aviary, and released the lead single “I Shall Love 2”. She followed it with another single, “Words I Heard”, before the album’s release on October 26.
In 2021, Holter was appointed the Johnston-Fix Professor of the Practice in Songwriting and Visiting Assistant Professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles.
On January 9, 2024, Holter announced her sixth studio album, Something in the Room She Moves, set for release on March 22 by Domino.
