Common Holly: Influences
Apple Music
As Common Holly, Montreal's Brigitte Naggar couches stark singer/songwriter confessionalism in panoramic, shapeshifting soundscapes. You can hear a similar balance of melody and malleability in both the atmospheric dream pop of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and the off-kilter indie rock of Chad VanGaalen. And the tension between Naggar's vulnerable voice and her visceral productions reverberates back to the traumatic trip-hop of Portishead.
