Description:

Hollie Kenniffs second LP for Western Vinyl, We All Have Places That We Miss, is a gallery of cloudlike synths, seraphic strings, and humming guitars, all coaxed into cohesion by Hollies own wordless singing. The albums 2021 precursor, The Quiet Drift, landed on Bandcamps Best Ambient list alongside the description deep tones of drone, dream pop harmonies, and new ages bright tranquility, Kenniff evokes the forests, lakes and rivers of her past and present surroundings with a zen patience. Here on Places she strides even further into reminiscence, seeking and commemorating the fondly tragic ache of half-remembered locales lost to time: A grandparents dim living room from an ambiguous decade; a lonely clearing beside a trail we cant remember if we walked or just dreamt; the calming light of a movie that aired years before we were born though our feelings insist we were there with the characters. We All Have Places That We Miss transmutes such glimmers into a palpable sonic kingdom that can be revisited at will, recalling the pedal-board ambience of Windy & Carl, Adam Wiltzie, and Liz Harris. Dreamy, reflective and full of emotion Future Music one of ambient musics leaders A Closer Listen Drawing on the deep tones of drone, dream pop harmonies, and new ages bright tranquility, Kenniff evokes the forests, lakes and rivers of her past and present surroundings with a zen patience. Bandcamp Hollies music defies the standard understanding of physics, because her songs seem to be untethered from the world, set free from any kind of law.
