Fly is the 2nd single from Manchester artist Test Card Girl's debut synth-folk EP due out in July. Written during the long hot days of lockdown, the song is about feeling trapped inside, whilst jealously watching a fly explore the 4 corners of the room and then fly off through the window to freedom. Sonically, it is a result of hearing Kraftwerk's 'Autobahn' playing in the background while half-watching a programme about colliery bands in British mining towns. It's a rallying cry to stand up and walk to nowhere.

The track was produced by Seadna McPhail at Airtight Studios in Manchester and features I Am Kloot drummer Andy Hargreaves. Production was funded by an Arts Council England grant gratefully received in 2021. Test Card Girl will be releasing another single at the end of April and her debut EP in July 2022. She was recently chosen as one of Manchester International Festival's MIF Sounds 2022-23 artists and will be performing regularly in and around the North of England and beyond this year.

It was hard to choose a first single, but releasing ‘cute as hell’ on Valentine’s Day felt right. It’s an anti-commercial ode to fancying somebody and having no idea what’s going on in their head. It’s also about how scary love is, because you have to give up control and surrender yourself to this tidal wave of impulsive emotion. When we were working on the album, ‘cute as hell’ was literally the last song we wrote; the lyrics are playfully ironic and also have a constant kind of manic energy that definitely stems from the deep, restless depths of the pandemic

“The Planes”, is a gorgeously twinkly retro gem that instantly pleases on the ear with its silky-smooth
layers of haunting psychedelic harmonies and fuzzy guitar leads. There’s a crisp organic sound
encasing the track as stunning streams of consciousness collide in shimmering audio gold.
Recorded in a farmhouse in the English countryside, “The Walls” brings Holly full circle from her
previous Los Angeles recorded album. Finely crafted arrangements, sonic musings, and playful
themes take us on a journey with Holly as she deconstructs her Brit Pop and classic influences and

reassembles them into progressive-folk wonderment. 

On “The Walls”, Holly said, “This album sits within a sense of place. As a songwriter, I can only speak
of my own thoughts of home and belonging. I suppose this record is a wandering eye over the fleeting
moments from the last few years, of when I felt at home, and when I didn’t. When I felt like the walls
were tumbling, when they kept me safe, and when they became my prison. I learned the only way of

breaking these patterns, was to let people step over the threshold.

My 2021 group of demos. Genres are all over the map on this one, including some great tape loops and field recordings. I'm still really just a singer-songwriter/ solo male artist though. Whatever that means. I would consider these all of lofi demo quality. Maybe highbrow lofi, but still just me recording demos on my home setup and out in the field. Sometimes you just gotta let it fly. I hope you are able to enjoy it. Rock on!

Let's Talk About It

Years Go By

Born and raised in rural Massachusetts and currently living in Brooklyn, NY⁠, Eliza Edens weaves together disparate influences of people and place into her work to create mesmerizing sonic tapestries with guitar and voice. With a love for tinkering with alternate tunings à la Nick Drake, a curious harmonic ear from years of childhood classical piano lessons, and an ever-expanding affinity for words and stories, Edens’ songs build a kaleidoscopic world that documents the parallels between hope and heartbreak. The resulting sound is a diverse palette of guitar-based, experimental folk-rock centered around Edens gently cradled voice and brimming at the edges with pockets of sonic whimsy. Edens' sophomore album 'We'll Become the Flowers' arrived on October 14th.
