It’s been four years since Holly Miranda‘s last LP, her excellent sophomore set The Magician’s Private Library, but the wait is almost over. She recently shared these two new tunes — “Desert Call” and “Everlasting” — to help bide time for a full-length. They’re both slow-burning ballads built around Miranda’s heartfelt vocal; still one of the best voices around in the smoky, soulful department. “Desert Call,” in particular, recalls the bar scene in Twin Peaks a bit, with guest backing vocals by Kelis channeling the ethereal timbre of Julee Cruise. According to Idolator, longtime collaborator Dave Sitek produced the single release for his Federal Prism label last fall. Check out both cuts below:
“Desert Call”
“Everlasting”
