Monday Green by Holly Henderson

“Not many people are making this kind of song today — and that makes it really stand out.” - Refinery29

“The album showcases the lush soundscape Henderson has been crafting and clearly marks her as an artist to check out in 2019.” - The Young Folks

UK alternative singer and guitarist, Holly Henderson, released her debut full-length, Monday Green, today via Trend & Chaos. The ten songs on the album showcase Holly's diverse range - from lush, beautiful ballads to melt your face off alterna-pop anthems - all featuring intricate guitar work by Henderson. Lead single “Loneliness” borrows heavily from Holly’s Britpop influences, while “We Sold The Earth” explores more experimental, prog-rock leaning sounds. The album comes to a close with “Frantic”, a track that lives in a category all to itself as it slowly builds into a combination of rich vocal melodies and striking guitars. Lyrically, Henderson releases her emotions and vulnerabilities through both self-realization and their correlation to the world around her.

Monday Green was recorded in Los Angeles with legendary producer and guitarist Pete Thorn (Chris Cornell, Courtney Love) and features contributions from drummer Blair Sinta (Alanis Morissette, Stevie Nicks), bassist Jon Button (The Who, Sheryl Crow), keyboardist Jebin Bruni (Liz Phair, Fiona Apple) and keyboardist Dennis Martin (Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi).

On the album, Holly Henderson stated:

“The name “Monday Green” is a vaguely ironic play on words of ‘Mondegreen’, a misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song. I knew even if I was really stark with my lyrics, or really abstract, it wouldn’t matter. People were going to have their own ideas, regardless of what my ego would want to get out of it. Every song is an extension of a thought, whether it was about the environment, my relationships or current affairs.

Musically, the album was a huge leap forward in the overall development of my sound. I went from recording demos at home through the built-in mic on my Mac, to a studio that had every toy imaginable and the chance to record with a group of people who have built their careers on crafting great songs.”
