As is so often the way in the digital age, it was the internet that gave London songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Holly Henderson her big break. In 2017, Holly posted a cover of Bowie's Lazarus on Instagram, and it quickly caught the ear of LA session guitarist and YouTube star Pete Thorn (Chris Cornell, Melissa Etheridge et al), ultimately leading to the release of her debut long-player, Monday Green. Produced by Thorn - and also the inaugural release for groovy NY/Tokyo-based label, Trend & Chaos - the ten-track album is an earthy indie rock belter through and through, with a dense production and arrangement style that serves as the perfect platform for Holly's voice.
However, there's a more delicate side to the 23 year-old's music, too, as this exclusive video performance of her upcoming single, Back After Sunrise, reveals. Paring back to just acoustic guitar and vocals, Holly's masterful, understated delivery showcases her exceptional talent for imparting the emotional content of a song.
For the session, we recorded Holly at Castle Gibson's MC Motors, a stunning East London warehouse. The equipment used to make the recording comprised a Shure SM58 dynamic microphone for the vocal (and whistling) and an Se Electronics Z5600a tube condenser on the guitar, both connected to a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface, which in turn fed into Logic Pro on a MacBook Pro. With its testing dynamic sensitivity, Back After Sunrise makes for ideal source material through which to appreciate the 18i8's superb preamps, featuring integrated Air high-frequency enhancement circuit, and class leading 24-bit/192kHz converters.
