The first new music from Common Holly since six years, since 201 9’s When I say to you Black Lightning (out via Barsuk Records).The album was recorded live off the floor over just a handful of days, in a bid to capture the sound and energy her band has honed on stage. Co-produced with long-time collaborator Devon Bate, Anything glass feels certain and uncertain, sharp yet softly focused. Engaging and tightly-knit, the album is a considered, captivating stride forward. It touches on themes of mortality, connection and meaning in an ever-confounding world. Key influences like Bill Callahan, Mount Eerie, Lomelda, and Leonard Cohen have impacted Brigitte Naggar’s writing– artists who make the personal feel universal, but also songwriters that conjure a world around their work, who can deliver a song of pure gentleness or sincerity but always with an edge, a flicker of static hidden in the shadows. Across its ten tracks, Anything glass shows Naggar expanding her musical palette to find greater details and ever more colourful shades. It captures her band live and alive in a room together, singing to worries and wisdoms. Naggar reflects, “we exist in fragile bodies, in a fragile ecosystem, and when we are feeling lucid, we remember we won’t live forever. And that inevitable end encases and contains us by reminding us to look inside and to locate what matters most…and to go toward it!
