Julia Holter - Try To Make Yourself A Work Of Art

For everyone that typically glosses over my long discursive ramblings that I have a propensity to post here, I understand.  But please, read below.  This is the most intriguing project I have come across in some time. The excerpt below is taken from a FACT magazine review of Julia Holter's new album Tragedy.  If you are intrigued, please read the whole thing here and check out the album.  It is amazing on an artistic level.  It is definitely something that takes an active listen.

Conceptually rooted around an atmospheric “interpretation”of Euripides’ Hippolytus with an introduction, interlude and finale, Tragedy utilises voice, synths, drum machines, piano, cello, saxophone, samples, vocoders, ensemble musicians [CalArts New Century Players] and a chorus. Most lyrics are lifted directly from sections of the play (listed in narrative order) but “positioned by an aural logic rather than in the chronological order”.

Check out more tracks from the album after the jump.
