Zandi Holup – Wildflowers [LP]

Prolific singer-songwriter Zandi Holup has the kind of voice that instantly cuts to the heart’s deepest corners: enchanting, enigmatic, profoundly world-weary but radiant with raw feeling. Her debut album, Wildflower, is a revelatory body of work born from embracing her singular eccentricity, ultimately bringing an incandescent beauty to the most painful of experiences. Holup joined forces with producer Ryan Hadlock (Zach Bryan, Wyatt Flores) and spent a month recording at Bear Creek Studios in the woods of northwest Washington. With the help of several musicians from nearby Seattle, Holup and Hadlock dreamed up an intentionally simplistic but exquisitely detailed sound firmly centered on her voice and lyrics. Over the course of Wildflower’s eleven tracks, Holup embeds her songwriting with a lovely entangling of poetry and confession and fable-like narrative, imbuing every moment with an undaunted emotional truth.
