A fresh new signing from XL, Holly Miranda hails from New York and has an awesome falsetto on her. Single 'Forest green oh forest green' is a strange and spacy little pop song pushing the boundaries of instrumentation and composition to make the best of Holly's crazy vocal style. It sounds like this track has been recorded, edited and re-recorded multiple times which makes for a confused first listen. B-side 'Nobody sees me like you do' is a re-imagining of a Yoko Ono track that takes a similar approach to the A-side, monkeying with the beats and instrumentation with childlike enthusiasm.

XL Recordings are excited to announce the signing of New York based musician Holly Miranda.

Holly Miranda’s debut album will be released in
early 2010. It is preceded by a 7” single
featuring ‘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.

“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” - Time Out NY.
