Very subtle but full arrangements. She has definitely deserved all the critics praise.

this is just flawless

They are all so baked haha, love it.

I love the originality. And I can appreciate this for what it is. And to put it simply, what 'it' is, is "Good." In my opinion, the term 'hipster' gets thrown about as a cop out by people who don't comprehend the newness, ideas or ambiguity of what something is. What Julia and her band are doing, in my opinion, is simply some excellent, multi-layered unconventional musical composition. It's hardly pop formulaic with a smattering of pretension, it reeks of free jazz with a folk beatnik storytellers bite. Love it or hate it, Julia and her band own it; and it's fun to watch them play it. So please- just because she's wearing glasses while playing a keyboard, sings with a nontraditional cadence, there is a stand up bass present & drummer guy is playing with brushes instead of sticks; refrain from calling it 'hipster.' Because that description would be incorrect.

+Mike Langhoff very eloquently put my friend. I can't agree more. I wish everyone discussed music the way you did. Everyone else seems hyper critical whereas you take a more genuine perspective. You expressed yourself but did so in a way that demonstrates your knowledge of music and composition. Very well done, sir! BTW, just for the record I can't get enough of those glasses

I love how vulnerable she acts off the mic. I just find it so cute, that combined with her voice and her looks.

Man, this started off way out there, but have to admit, after just accepting it for the first couple of songs it really wore on me fast and really digging it. Thank you KEXP. Awesome Channel!

flow, intention, tenderness - words that came to mind while listening to this. "Goodness" is a matter of taste but I can't help loving their palette of instruments and timbres and how naturally the acoustic and "synthetic" worlds weave together.

I'm in love. She's perfect in every way. Absolutely genius composer, absolutely genius singer, beautiful and with lots of personality sparkling through those eyes. Very feminine without being the typical little princess, which is becoming something quite rare these days.

Very true

the way julia says the word “saxophone” is something that can be so personal

That last song "City Appearing" ....slows my heart rate, honestly. Love her vocal delivery and the instrumentation reminds me of Kate Bush's 50 Words For Snow

Julia Holter - Keyboard, vox, amazing, comedy Andrew Tholl - Violin Chris Votek - Cello Danny Meyer - Saxophone Corey Fogel - Drums

Julia is the best. Thank you for this!

Love the second song

Very interesting, thank you KEXP!

the drummer singing is my favorit part

I'd not heard of her before, I LOVE IT!!!!!

She's sounds so fresh! I love it

Loud City Song is one of the best albums of 2013...no question

Wotsma Naym more pretentious than using facetious in a KZread thread? In this case it is true that it takes one to know one. There are a lot of really undeserved, ignorant and ugly comments in this section about an artist that I respect. I won't change my stance even though it appears that I am being pretentious about music. It's not for everyone and I wish that folks who do not understand would just accept that and find other stuff to watch rather than post about their inability to grasp something different.

Awesome, totally random discovery. Love her and really digging her band.

Julia Holter is a complete genius and the Loud City Song album is absolutely superb! She employs an excellent ensemble of musicians who offer something decidedly different and they are ten times more interesting than the mainstream! Here is link from the Wire magazine website worth checking out: www.thewire.co.uk/archive/artists/julia-holter

So glad that this was posted. Acid rock with class and complexity.

Even the camera-person started laughing when she was spelling her website at 14:13 :) Interesting performance, enjoyed it.

The drummer is the coolest guy. Look at the beer belly, sweat pants, dirty white tshirt, and creepy facial expressions. The video should just stay on him the whole time!

Love this channel. I don't even listen to KEXP, but its youtube videos helped me discover so many new artists, that I wouldn't even have heard of without this channel. Thank you SO much.

She is her own person-she favors an ethereal mood to her artistic expressions and they are performed with excellence. Her vocals are intriguing and melodic...appealing, ditto for her lyrics. Obviously she has selected very competent band-mates and they do shine a bit here. i give this performance a 4 of 5 for creativity, artistic expression and quality of performance overall.

Best singer-songwriter of the decade, no contest. No one's currently taking the risks that Julia does.

WoW! Thank you so much for introducing this to me KEXP.

superb and sublime

Great mellow haunting tunes...

Best arrangements ever *_*

The band's great..

This is delightfully good!

great to see her perform

Wow this is great!

mind is blown, awesome stuff.

I love KEXP live ^ ^ GOOOOD GOOOOD ~~~~~

beautifull song amazing!

The high amount of hipster comments to this video annoys me. Can't we just enjoy music and stop label everything and placing ourselves in different camps. "The mainstream music listeners Vs. Hipsters". If you're only into the stuff that's being played on the radio, then you probably haven't explored your musical side enough. And perhaps you don't feel as much as I feel when I listen to music, we are all different. I don't personally like music, I obsess over music. People who only listen to music when they party or when they drive to work probably doesn't share my passion for music, leaving us with different tastes. If you proudly say that you are a hipster and feel the need to hate on people who doesn't like music like this. Then you are not cool, you are not sophisticated, you are just a pretentious asshole.

it's exactlly because of comments like those bellow that the music business is shit nowadays. people care more about foundation tones in make-up and if people are dressed properly for a radio show than the fact that she has 3 major albums out. one of them considered to be the best album of 2013 by many of the best music magazines of the world (Wire, for ex.), And because it doesn't really sound like anything very specific, as she blends and mixes genres like synth pop and jazz to create something new, people just dislike it. Just listen to it, it's perfection.

It does sound like something specific. A lot like Laurie Anderson tbh

Just when you think you know where this song is going, it jumps off the cliff and into a swamp of self indulgence

she's charming and funny and her music is lovely and intelligent. not for people who just want to hear simple beat and melody (see all the dumb comments below). loud city song is a cool soundtrack-y vibe while her earlier work, particularly 'tragedy" her debut is a bit more avant-noisey. all her shit is great though.

Wow. Wasn't diggin' it for the first few seconds but once I got a taste of her way with words and the movement of the song.... Downloading the album now.

The instrumental is so abstract I dig this

When she starts spelling out her website URL... BIG CRUSH!

KEXP gets us.

i am captivated

i watched the whole vid cause i was stoned. it still was nice when i got sober. this doesnt happen a lot

brilliant.

Wish I would have discovered this greatness earlier...

This definitely had that dreamy lazy parisian coffeshop feel, definitely have to be imaginative to enjoy this.

This is really cool.

"I am so pro now" - Julia Shammas Holter.

When I first watched this I just didn't feel the vibe. I think it was because its so different. A day later and I see with a fresh less biased perspective; amazing music.

Instantly recognizable music. Jean Michel Jarre loves her too (made a beautiful song together with her) and he ventilated these warm and respectful words and thoughts about this great artist!

I did not expect this at all! Kind of interesting though, sounds pretty fresh.

she is so special

the drummer is epic ;D

Como no enamorarse ?

2:16 is where it got good.

she is so pro

big band !! :-)

A tree is definitely a tree.

I like the drama of the music background

Now this song has a good likeable beat.

wow

You know, not everybody went to Yale. She's nice and laid back.

Niceeeee
