Holly’s gloriously notable and evocative vocals are the heart of this EP’s storytelling, reflecting the raw honesty and emotional depth of her songwriting. The lyrical content serves as a mirror to Holly’s evolving identity, offering profound reflections on her relationship with herself, her interactions with the world, and her explorations into spirituality and sexuality.
“A Crescendo Ending feels really personal to me. It’s a collection of songs that I wrote on my favourite nylon guitar, after moments of meditation or reflection sitting on my bed. In terms of the recording, we tracked everything live, with only a few overdubs – the intention was for the EP to sound more in line with how the songs were actually written, as opposed to my last EP that had a bigger production. Out of Style and New Years Moon explore themes of communication and introspection, while Dead Ends and First Prize delve into vulnerability and longing. Overall the EP is an exploration of personal growth and vulnerability.”
