The tune’s dynamic Hildegard von Bingen-inspired melody and dense modal chords stood on their own without a complex arrangement on her wondrous 2024 album \u003ci\u003eSomething in the Room She Moves\u003c\/i\u003e, but she felt a lingering desire to expand the texture and stretch out the harmony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut on the new \u003ci\u003eMateria\u003c\/i\u003e, a kind of companion LP to \u003ci\u003eSomething\u003c\/i\u003e, Holter has realized not one but two distinct versions of the song. “Materia 2” is a hallucinatory dream of drum machines, fretless bass, and clarinet, Holter’s voice spiraling through ether alongside that of Jessika Kenney. And on “Materia 3,” intended as a hidden bonus track in an homage to the CD era of her youth, Holter literally slows down the take from \u003ci\u003eSomething\u003c\/i\u003e. The change not only emphasizes the unpredictable glory of the harmonies within but also reiterates the song’s emotional sophistication, the sense that it’s about learning how to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMateria\u003c\/i\u003e is only seven tracks long, but Holter works in nearly that many modes here. There are two astounding improvisations, one where she builds a one-person ensemble of drum machines and synth lines and another where she manipulates her voice until each word seems to contain another symphony. And yet another is built from a riff that came from a demo for \u003ci\u003eSomething\u003c\/i\u003e, a demo that itself is one of \u003ci\u003eMateria\u003c\/i\u003e’s most spellbinding and emotional pieces, “My Twin.” These seven songs show that Holter is among her generation’s most fluid writers of art-pop, moving among ideas and idioms with true exploratory aplomb. \u003ci\u003eMateria\u003c\/i\u003e is a kind of playground for Holter, where each distinct scene steadily coheres into a moving whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe Laugh Is in the Eyes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMy Lost One\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFantasy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMateria 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eClepsydra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMy Twin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMateria 3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"DOMINO","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44485993398371,"sku":"887828058228","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/image_601a81e3-57d7-4499-8fac-35ede6a964fd.png?v=1787282901","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/887828058228","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
