We construct and probe a holographic description of state of matter which
results from coupling a Fermi liquid to a relativistic conformal field theory
(CFT). The bulk solution is described by a quantum gas of fermions supported
from collapse into the gravitational well of AdS by their own electrostatic
repulsion. In the probe limit studied here, the Landau quasiparticles survive
this coupling to a CFT.
