Julia Holter has shared “My Lost One,” a new single from her forthcoming album, Materia, out August 21, 2026, via Domino. It’s a song that deals in whimsy, but also raises some interesting questions.

Holter says of the track:

‘My Lost One’ is a witchy folktale inspired by children’s books with creepy rhymes and nonsense syllables, trees growing through living rooms, and animals doing things in clothes. I imagine wildlife moving into my home, a superimposition of the outdoors and the indoors. I think about a squirrel cooking a meal on my stove. What are we conjuring, and what are we truly longing for?

Materia, which also features the previously released single “Fantasy,” will be arriving in various formats, incluidng Black vinyl with a doubled sided poster/lyric sheet, as well as CD with lyric booklet, and digitally.

Holter has also announced a Los Angeles album playback at In Sheep’s Clothing HQ in West Hollywood on August 20, 2026. The event, presented by KCRW, will feature a playback of Materia in full as well as a Q&A with Holter and KCRW’s Director of Music Content Alejandro Cohen. Ticket proceeds from the event will go to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. Tickets are available here.
