May 4, 2022 PATRICK HOLLAND – SINISTER BELL
Montreal’s Patrick Holland — best known as a steller producer and dance-floor destroying DJ — can also sing apparently, as evidenced today with the effortlessly cool opener from his debut album You’re The Boss. A press release calls this his “first foray into guitar-driven indie pop”, and its a timeless soft-rock gem, built around an infectiously sleek groove, underpinning Patrick’s naturally sweet vocals, with his homies David Carriere + Marta Cikojevic from our favs TOPS on backing vocals. Patrick says of “Sinister Bell“, “The song is about coming to terms with being haunted by a ghost. Whether it comes in the form of subconscious anxiety or physical paranormal activity, it’s all the same to me.” You’re the Boss drops July 29th via Sinderlyn.
