Julia Holter鈥檚 mixtape

Verity Sharp shares a luscious, love-filled mixtape from LA singer-songwriter Julia Holter. Plus Congolese funk, Venezuelan boogaloo and Welsh acoustic improvisations.

Verity Sharp presents another two-hour journey into the world of adventurous music and mind-opening sounds, including an exclusive mixtape from Julia Holter.

Vocalist, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist Julia Holter is based in Los Angeles. Since her debut album in 2011, she has combined elements of the avant-garde, chamber pop, indie rock, ambient textures and electronics, swirling them together in deeply emotive explorations of memory, dreams and the intangible. For her new record, Something in the Room She Moves, Holter's focus turns to the experience of being in the moment, and being in love, and her Late Junction mixtape explores these themes with a selection of music very close to her heart. There鈥檚 the mood-lifting piano of Emahoy Tsegu茅-Maryam Gu猫brou, who Julia first discovered as a college radio DJ and still returns to now for moments of clarity, and something from one of Julia鈥檚 go-to vocal inspirations, Yoko Ono. Plus plenty of music borne of collaboration. As Julia says: 鈥淭here's a warmth that comes through when you have something that two people write together鈥.

Elsewhere, Verity shares her own selections, including 鈥70s funk and rumba from the shores of the Congo River, acoustic improvisations on guitar and bass made in the heart of Wales, and Venezuelan party rhythms from Caracas.
