Bringing us to a state of deep listening, Julia Holter takes a seat in the Unclassified Listening Chair to share the music, which moves her. Julia’s own music explores atmosphere, minimalism and the power of her voice in songs that emit a hazy warmth.

Also in the show, Elizabeth selects a track from Laurie Anderson’s classic album Big Science, which gets its first reissue in 30 years on red vinyl. The 1982 debut album produced the unlikely pop hit O Superman that launched Anderson into the public eye. Plus, the first radio play of a remix of GoGo Penguin’s track Totem by the British electronic artist James Holden.
