Common Holly – Anything Glass Vinyl LP

From Common Holly comes Anything Glass, a rock album on Keeled Scales. This is the vinyl edition. This edition was released on June 13, 2025.

Anything glass, the third album from Montreal songwriter Brigitte Naggar, aka Common Holly, 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 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 it's ten tracks, Anything glass shows Brigitte 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. 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!
