Julia Holter - Ekstasis

2012 Rvng Intl #RVNGNL14. Made in USA 2x Vinyl LP, Gatefold, 12" 45rpm Julia Holter’s 2012 breakthrough album Ekstasis is a mesmerising journey through avant-garde pop, ambient drone, and baroque electronics. Meaning "outside of oneself" in Greek, the record lives up to its name by dissolving traditional song structures into billowing vocal layers and cassette-deck textures. Drawing textual inspiration from literary giants like Virginia Woolf and Frank O'Hara, Holter weaves harpsichord flourishes, whispered field recordings, and minimal synth loops into an intimate, dreamlike labyrinth. It remains a fiercely experimental yet deeply rewarding modern classic Condition Pristine vinyl X2, great sounding albums. Quiet and beautiful Sleeve lovely
