JULIA HOLTER IN CONCERT: Avant-pop goddess Julia Holter masterfully fuses disparate genres like folk, jazz, chamber music, and lo-fi electronica to arrive at her stunningly singular sound. In concert she brings her intricately crafted songs to life with a phenomenally talented backing band comprised of an upright bassist, a violinist, and a drummer. Holter herself assumes keyboard duties, deftly tapping out intricate and evocative passages while casting her ethereal, agile voice over the impressively rich mix of elements. Her music’s complex time signatures and enigmatic lyrics make for a cerebral listening experience, but the low-key manner in which she introduces each song and cracks jokes make her concerts approachable for fans of all stripes.

Julia Holter is an acquired taste, I love her mesh of different styles and genres that are centered on her delicate, wide eyed joy of music. I missed her previous area show and was glad she came by again with a much fuller set of 16 songs consisting mostly from her new record. She threw in some welcomed oldies. The band was terrific and the sound was enhanced with backing vocals from the violinist, Deanna Maccabe. Opening act, Mary Lattimore was also quite good and the time flew by.

This is my second time seeing Julia Holter perform and each time has been wonderful. The range of styles present in her songs are really a treat and her voice is mesmerizing. The new additions to her live-lineup are great and add even more sound dynamic to their live show. It was awesome to talk to the band after the performance, they are great people. Jessica Pratt is opening for Julia Holter on this tour and I am happy to have discovered her from the show. I would very much recommend this to people I know, they are making some very unique and beautiful music.

It was as intense as the recordings, the whole band was phenomenal, and somehow amazingly humble! Awesome lights, intimate environment, and perfect sound in that little basement room.

I would recommend seeing her in a smaller venue with better sound mixing. The levels were terribly unbalanced. And she needs a drummer that is more musically connected with her, helps draw out more of a range of dynamics and a sense of tension/release.
