Tragedy is the debut studio album by the American musician Julia Holter, released by Leaving Records on August 30, 2011.[2] Pitchfork wrote that Tragedy was Holter's "first LP... [which] calls to mind the arty, austere work of Laurie Anderson, Grouper, and Meredith Monk".[3]
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]
