Julia Holter's second album, <i>Ekstasis</i>, is a collection of songs written and recorded across the span of three years. <i>Ekstasis</i> marks a return to the playful searching of her 2007 <i>Eating the Stars</i> EP, but guided by newly-learned disciplines, slightly better technology, and nearly limitless home recording time. While <i>Ekstasis</i> reflects the conventions of her classical training, the album is also uncannily, if unknowingly, poppy. Holter's approach to crafting the songs of <i>Ekstasis<?i> centered around what she describes as, "open ear decision: what seemed to sound best for that moment."
