L.A.-based Julia Holter has crafted a dazzling audio artform in her latest otherworldly track ‘Sun Girl’, packed with discordant melodies and tranquil, hypnotic vocals.
Twinkling chimes grant us entrance into a surreal oasis of pulsating flora and fauna in the world of ‘Sun Girl.’ Quickly, we meet a purple character who dwells in the night and shadows of the desert blooms; craving the world of light that burns them at the touch. As the video unfolds, an instrumental collective signals a pivotal, and somewhat overwhelming evolution, for our violet friend. Petals of ice branch skyward, forming ever-growing canopies of floral hydra crystals that slowly engulf the entire horizon.
The sonic experience accompanied by the stunning animation for ‘Sun Girl’ makes this song not only an incredible musical feat for Holter but also stands as a bewitching testament to her immense skill at immersive storytelling. Highlighting the beauty that lies at the heart of terrifying changes, this video stumbles into the brave embrace of that shedding process.
Worth the wait and an excellent composition. We’re all so looking forward to the new album.
