Julia Holter returns with first new music in five years, "Sun Girl"
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and composer Julia Holter has released her new single “Sun Girl”, as her first release in five years.
“Sun Girl” comes via a video by the artist and animator Tammy Nguyễn. The song’s lyrics –“Place me, drag me, move me, Sun Girl” – evoke the spirit of a childlike game, but also, says Holter, “being brought out of my comfort zone; into the unknown, playfulness and chaos.”
“Sun Girl” follows Holter’s critically acclaimed 2018 album Aviary. In the hiatus from her solo music, she composed the score for Eliza Hittman’s award-winning film 2020 Never Rarely Sometimes Always, and in the past year she wrote and performed a new live soundtrack to the 1928 silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc with England’s Chorus of Opera North; appeared on the UK producer Call Super’s full-length Eulo Cramps; and created remixes for New Age icon Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s Keyboard Fantasies Reimagined and British hyperpop pioneer Max Tundra’s Remixtape.
"Sun Girl" is out now on Domino.
