# Stream Julia Holter’s ‘Ekstasis’ The name **Julia Holter** has been appearing more and more frequently on both lips and URLs, and if you'd heard any of the tracks on her upcoming LP *Ekstasis* you'd understand why. Moving beyond the heavy, cloaked atmosphere of her previous album *Tragedy*, Holter integrates pop hooks into her complex arrangements that bounce playfully through ambient, experimental and avant-garde electronics. It's one of the most adventurous records we've heard in ages, and we can't wait for the March 8th release. Fortunately, we don't have to: the entirety of *Ekstasis* is now available to stream on **NPR**. Slip on some good headphones, lean back, and enjoy it [here][1]{: target="_blank"}.
