Tis the season for catching up on the music world, while on a short break from work or school or whatever else you are doing. After perusing the interwebs for some catchy tunes, I happened upon Holly Miranda, a once-Detroit resident turned Brooklynite equipped with a soft, raspy voice that beautifully enhances acoustic guitar, lovely harmonies, and trumpets. Her Sleep on Fire EP can be purchased here and was produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio. Kanye West has also hyped her music (before Pitchfork! scene points), and she recently toured with The Antlers and The XX. Check her out, because according to Vanity Fair, she is the "real deal", and why would they ever lie to you?
