Following on from the rootsy saloon-noir conviction of her 2017 debut, Golden Eagle, Holly sets out for deeper, often darker territory with a firm, unhurried sense of direction on her second record: on all fronts, it’s an album that looks its upscaled ambitions in the eye fearlessly. For Macve, the combination of influences such as Nancy \u0026amp; Lee with time spent touring helped widen her horizons. “I wasn’t afraid of trying new things, and I wanted to explore sounds and develop my skills in production, composing and engineering. When I wrote the songs on Golden Eagle I had never toured, it was just me in my bedroom playing acoustic guitar. I then got the chance to tour the world with a band and sing with a symphony orchestra [with Mercury Rev in 2017]. My little world grew and I realised there was so much for me to learn about how I can use my skills as a singer - songwriter\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Sky","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50421042807115,"sku":"1112015","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50421045559627,"sku":"1112013","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/146469ba-cda9-4656-a94a-d21e2de7696c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726755348","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/not-the-girl","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
