HOLLAND GRECO’s DEBUT ALBUM ‘VOLUME 1’ DUE OUT June 17 2014 ON ZAPPA RECORDS; RELEASE MARKS FIRST ORIGINAL ARTIST SIGNING TO ZAPPA RECORDS THIS CENTURY Full album available June 17, 2014 at http://barfkoswill.shop.musictoday.com Singer, songwriter, musician, and poet HOLLAND GRECO’s debut album, VOLUME 1, due out February 2014 on Zappa Records, will mark the first original artist signed this century to the label headed by Gail Zappa. The multi-faceted GRECO–keyboards, rhythm guitar, banjo, accordion AND ukulele–lives up to the honor with an eclectic musical palette that is in full effect on the album which showcases her double vision in the two halves of VOLUME 1: the light and dark sides of her personality, expressed in the high-pitched sing-song falsetto of Tunnel Vision and the deeper, smoke-filled vocals in the gothabilly of Murdergram: Songs Of The Misfits. On VOLUME 1, GRECO recorded Tunnel Vision with keyboardist Lisa Harriton [Ke$ha, Smashing Pumpkins, Adam Lambert], bassist Joe Karnes [Fitz & the Tantrums], frequent drummer princessFrank and a horn section including ace musicians like trombone player Ryan Porter and trumpeter Brian Warfield. The results feature HOLLAND in her Norah Jones/Maria Muldaur/Cyndi Lauper mode, a seductive crooner capable of the buoyant samba beat of “100 Proof” and the horn-driven New Orleans by way of Mary Wells stomp of “Stuck!” Meanwhile, Murdergram, her tribute to Glenn Danzig’s horror-core punkabilly band The Misfits, was inspired by the exploitation flicks of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez and the fuzz-toned guitar sounds of Link Wray. You can hear those cinematic influences in the wide-screen “American Nightmare,” with a bowed bass solo that sounds like “a crying Orca, a wail of pain and anguish,” with HOLLAND’s declamatory style recalling yet another rock poet in Patti Smith. There’s a bossa nova beat in “Die Die My Darling” courtesy of princessFrank, while “Vampira” is straight-ahead monsterbilly in the classic crash-and-burn style of The Cramps. “I feel I have something to offer whoever’s listening,” says GRECO. “I am constantly digging into my own feelings and experiences to find those truths which connect us, the words to distill matters of the heart, mind, and body into knowable, articulated, musical mood scenes…be it love, sadness, or spaz.” The track listing for VOLUME 1 is as follows: Tunnel Vision (Side A) 1. 100 Proof 2. Bedford Stuyvesant 3. Stuck! 4. Butterflies 5. Flashback Murdergram: Songs of the Misfits (Side B) 1. Hollywood Babylon 2. Halloween 3. American Nightmare 4. Die Die My Darling 5.
