Holocene is the alias for front-woman, Sian Kelly; an artist and songwriter from Southwest London. Holocene illustrates sombre worlds and the stark realities within human experience through her foreboding lyricism and chest-hitting mood shifts. Holocene pairs her cinematic soundscapes, and heavy guitars with a voice which celebrates the darker qualities of the female range, telling stories of loss; learning in love and inevitable change. Her music is a product of growing up with a messy array of grunge and jazz records as her childhood soundtrack; from Nina Simone, to Pearl Jam, to Portishead. Holocene’s music aches of real life and the toil of love in all of its façades.
