Holly Macve: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Stephen Thompson, June 23, 2017 Holly Macve s voice seems to hover from era to era, coming to rest somewhere between the lonesome twang of Patsy Cline and the moodily modern slur of Lana Del Rey. Macve s songs lope and shimmer at a lazy pace, but they never lack drama, even as she holds herself motionless. The Brightonbased singersongwriter recently stopped by the Tiny Desk to perform three songs from Golden Eagle, her debut album. Whether performing on acoustic guitar (for No One Has The Answers and The Corner Of My Mind ) or piano (for Golden Eagle s epic title track), Macve remained in complete command. Backed by a suitably lowkey band, she d sound subtly radiant just about anywhere, from your nearest country bar to the most dreamily lit stage in Twin Peaks.
