Hard to say: Her title is as elliptical as her lyrics, and her singular manner of vocalizing makes sussing those out even more of a challenge. When Holland begins with a song about misconceptions driving the disintegration of a relationship (\u201cAll Those Girls\u201d), she doesn\u2019t just sing. It\u2019s as if she\u2019s wringing the words out of herself, and the emotional intensity is only amplified by the slashing and searing of Grey Gersten\u2019s guitar. And when Holland closes with a transformative rendition of Townes Van Zandt\u2019s \u201cRex\u2019s Blues,\u201d she gleans the song\u2019s despair in a way that no one else has managed. \u2013Stuart Munro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JOLIE HOLLAND + THE GRAND CHANDELIERS Pint of Blood [Anti-] A pint is the usual amount extracted when you donate blood.
