Holo Boy reinterprets songs with richer production and confident vocals, making self-effacing lyrics feel compassionate and invigorated.
Three-quarters of the way through Hand Habits ' 2021 album , Meg Duffy let loose an unexpected wail on "Concrete & Feathers," their voice twisting to an anguished howl. On their first few releases, Duffy had mostly sung in a hushed voice over intimate, introspective indie rock. But on their third album, they took bolder turns, occasionally bursting into instrumental catharsis-and pushing their singing to newly commanding territory.
