Vocally, Detroit-born, Brooklyn-based neo-pop folk songstress Holly Miranda might bring to mind Chann Marshall. But mood-wise she's got much more in common with, say, American dream pop duo Azure Ray. Both find solace in sleep, and the things that go bump in the night. And each has a way with words that harkens back to the heyday of AM radio. Be that as it may, Holly Miranda is definitely a singular singer, well worth a listen in her own right, and one whose slow crawl into the hearts and minds of the masses seems to be reaping some great reward.Photo by Sebastian Mlynarski Holly Miranda
