Holter also collaborates with other musicians including Nite Jewel, Linda Perhacs, and Michael Pisaro. In 2013, she released her third album, Loud City Song to resounding critical acclaim.
Holter, a Los Angeles native, grew up in a musical family. Her father plays guitar and once performed with Pete Seeger. Her mother, Carole Shammas, is a prominent academic and currently holds the John R. Hubbard Chair in History at the University of Southern California. Besides playing and recording music, Holter tutors students and works with a nonprofit organization for teenagers in South Central Los Angeles. After graduating from CalArts, where she studied composition, Holter contributed songs to multiple compilation albums in 2008. She performed in the LA Road Concert with the Open Academy Youth Orchestra on Washington Boulevard in 2009. The following year she began playing with Linda Perhacs' band. In 2010, she released a CD-R titled Celebration and a collection of live recordings.
Her debut studio album, Tragedy, was released in August 2011 on Leaving Records. Inspired by Euripides' Greek play Hippolytus, the album received generally favorable reviews and was named one of NPR's "Best Outer Sound Albums Of 2011".
Holter released a second album, Ekstasis, in March 2012 on the RVNG label. The album drew comparisons to works by such artists as Laurie Anderson, Julianna Barwick, Kate Bush, Joanna Newsom, Grouper, and Stereolab, and received many positive reviews. Holter spent three years making the album, whose title comes from the Greek word meaning "outside of oneself." The music video for album track "Moni Mon Amie", directed by Yelena Zhelezov, was also released in March.
In addition to collaborating with other California-based musicians like Nite Jewel (Ramona Gonzalez), Holter recently released her third album, Loud City Song. Unlike her first two albums, which were recorded mostly alone in her bedroom, Holter recorded Loud City Song with an ensemble of musicians

Feel You
Julia Holter Lyrics
My first thought was
There are so many days of rain
In Mexico City
A good reason to go
You know I love to run away from sun
Is it time to dance?
I'll fall you know I like to fall
I'm hopeful for
The rush hour car
Stares and
The memory of your piano
Can I feel you? Are you
Mythological?
Figures pass so quickly
That I realize my
Eyes know very well
It's impossible to see
Who I'm waiting for
In my raincoat
The time change worked well
I had a good excuse for being late
But I pushed open the door
The room was empty all the people gone
When the cab pulled up
I laughed, I forgot where I was going
There I stood mystified
I could give no reason for my frozen stare
Am I heading toward you?
It's a hot day
Can I feel you? Are you
Mythological?
Figures pass so quickly
That I realize my
Eyes know very well
It's impossible to see
Who I'm waiting for
In my raincoat
All these perfumes
In this parking lot
Thousands of people pass through
On the festival day
Playing their saxophones
I see a flashing light
I'm blinded by the possibility

My first thought was
There are so many days of rain
In Mexico City -
A good reason to go
You know I love to run away from sun
Is it time to dance?
I'll fall - you know I like to fall
I'm hopeful for
The rush hour car
Stares and
The memory of your piano
Can I feel you? Are you
Mythological?
Figures pass so quickly
That I realize my
Eyes know very well
It's impossible to see
Who I'm waiting for in
My raincoat
The time change worked well
I had a good excuse for being late
But I pushed open the door -
The room was empty all the people gone
When the cab pulled up
I laughed, I forgot where I was going
There I stood mystified
I could give no reason for my frozen stare
Am I heading toward you?
It's a hot day
Can I feel you? Are you
Mythological?
Figures pass so quickly
That I realize my
Eyes know very well
It's impossible to see
Who I'm waiting for in
My raincoat
All these perfumes
In this parking lot
Thousands of people pass through
On this festival day
Playing their saxophones
A sea of flashing light
I'm blinded by it -
The possibility
It's impossible to see
Who I'm waiting for in
My raincoat
