Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and composer Julia Holter releases her new single “Sun Girl” today on Domino. Fragments of flute, field recordings, Yamaha CS-60, bagpipes, mellotron, drums, and fretless bass are interwoven to delirious and balmy effect, infusing the ludic drum programing and production style of Holter’s earliest recordings with a fresh vibrancy. The song’s lyrics - “Place me, drag me, move me, Sun Girl”—evoke the spirit of a childlike game, but also, says Holter, “being brought out of my comfort zone—into the unknown, playfulness and chaos.”
“Sun Girl” comes via a video by the artist and animator Tammy Nguyễn.

“Sun Girl” follows Holter’s critically acclaimed 2018 album Aviary, hailed as “an odyssey stretching, sky-like, across 90 glorious minutes” (Pitchfork) and “her most captivating album yet” (Resident Advisor). In 2020 she composed the score for Eliza Hittman’s award-winning film Never Rarely Sometimes Always, and in the past year she wrote and performed a new live soundtrack to the 1928 silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc with England’s Chorus of Opera North; appeared on the UK producer Call Super’s full-length Eulo Cramps; and created remixes for New Age icon Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s Keyboard Fantasies Reimagined and British hyperpop pioneer Max Tundra’s Remixtape.
