XL Recordings is excited to announce the signing of
HOLLY MIRANDA.
Holly is a New York based musician and her debut album will be released
in early 2010. It will be preceded by a 7"/digital single in November
with a song called "Forest Green Oh Forest Green" and a cover of Yoko
Ono's "Nobody Sees Me Like You Do".
Holly has been singing for
as long as she can remember. She first began playing in New York at age
16, when she dropped out of high school in Michigan, told her mom she
was going to visit her sister in New York for a few weeks, and never
turned back. She soon discovered the world of the East Village and
started playing at places like The Sidewalk and meeting kindred spirits
in the New York scene. Whether solo or with her band, she's become an
artist consistently able to mesmerize with her range as well as her
songs.
Holly starts a tour with Antlers tonight in Chicago,
and will be in Europe in October for shows with Wild Beasts and The xx.
She will be back in NYC for a CMJ show on October 23rd.

“Holly Miranda’s falsetto makes the walls collapse.” —
Vanity Fair“...a less fearful Cat Power, a more substantive Feist, a Norah Jones with actual feeling.” —
New York Times“Whether
she’s performing a cappella or surrounded by a full, warm fuzz of
music—as on her Dave Sitek–produced forthcoming debut—Miranda is a rare
talent.” -
