Julia Holter’s third album and her first proper studio recording, titled ‘Loud City Song,’ is set for release on August 20 on Domino Records. Though a big leap from her bedroom sound, this latest collection of songs is said to be a continuation and furthering of her experimental approach to storytelling. The second single,“In the Green Wild,” off the forthcoming album, has been released with a video. It’s a strange and playful display of the world inside Holter’s mind, proving once again that she can successfully live outside of any musical rules, and still reach an audience desperate for something authentically inspired. She is setting out on a North America Tour supporting folk songstress Jessica Pratt, followed by a string of European dates. She will land back in LA for a show at the First Unitarian Church on Sept. 11. – Jacqueline Caruso
