Tragedy is the fourth studio album by American musician Julia Holter. The album is usually referred to as her "debut album", since the preceding albums were mainly available as highly limited edition releases through independent labels[3]. Even though Tragedy was first released independently in a highly limited edition as well, it was later re-released commercially by the label Leaving Records’’ on August 30, 2011, and has since been referred to as Holter's first studio album. The album is inspired by Hippolytus, a play by Euripides.[4] Holter recorded Tragedy with electronic instrumentation, largely out of necessity, since she lacked the funds to hire session musicians.[5]

Reception
Tragedy was received positively by music critics, who cited Holter as an innovative avant-garde electronic artist.[5] Mike Powell, reviewing the album for Pitchfork Media, wrote that "Holter has made a dreamy, intense album that aligns with a variety of traditions but, like a lot of great contemporary music, synthesizes them in novel or at least artful ways."[2]
