Tragedy

Description

Long-awaited reissue of Los Angeles based artist Julia Holters debut album.

Originally released in November 2011 on Leaving Records in two runs of 500 copies only, this modern masterpiece proved to be the most inspired, captivating and unique debut album of the year, and has been out of print and much coveted ever since.

Inspired by Euripides Hippolytus, the sheer scope and scale of ambition evident in Tragedys fifty minutes is staggering.

Comprised of voice, synths, drum machines, piano, cello, saxophone, samples, vocoders, ensemble musicians and a chorus, Tragedy is a transcendental amalgamation of avant garde and pop conventions, and of organic and electronic compositional forms an entire universe of a record blessed with its own beautifully peculiar logic.
