Although initially known for her work with the Jealous Girlfriends, Holly Miranda launched her own career several years before the band’s formation. Raised in the suburbs of Detroit, she dropped out of high school at the age of 16 and moved to New York, where she finished her degree through correspondence courses and landed a record deal with BMG. Her debut album for the label was never released, however, and Miranda eventually left BMG’s roster. Now an independent musician, she made her proper debut with the release of 2001’s High Above the City, a 20-track solo album that was sold during her tours of the east coast and Midwest. Two years later, Miranda crossed paths with producer Alex Lipsen and formed the Jealous Girlfriends, which released two albums and toured through the end of 2008, at which point the bandmates took a break to pursue different projects. Miranda used the opportunity to return to her solo career. Wasting little time, she released the Sleep on Fire EP in mid-2009 and began working on a full-length project with producers Dave Sitek -- a co-founder of TV on the Radio and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's most frequent producer -- and Celebration's Katrina Ford. The resulting album, The Magician's Private Library, was released by XL Recordings in February 2010. Miranda toured extensively in support of the album, including legs opening for Tegan & Sara, Florence + the Machine, and the XX. In 2013, Miranda joined forces with Scarlett Johansson, Julia Haltigan, Kendra Morris, and Este Haim to form a Go-Go's-influenced studio group called the Singles. In February 2015, the group was poised to release their debut single, "Candy," when the project was scuttled by a cease and desist order filed by the long-running rock band the Singles, originally based in Detroit. Meanwhile, Miranda was looking for inspiration for her next solo project and rented a house in the California Desert near Joshua Tree. Miranda's muse thrived in the new locale, and she penned a new batch of songs that formed the basis of her third solo album, simply titled Holly Miranda. Produced by Miranda and Florent Barbier, the album was released by Dangerbird Records in May 2015.

one justice I think it's a broken compass, got us down this far Anyone with two cents would pull the ripcord This love does no one justice No one just is No one just is Copy paste is not good for health So we just keep falling with our ever-impending ground Rising up to meet our poor judgment And it's all for show nothing ever even scratches the top Of what really goes on here Pound through the room Grasping at straws Your heavy feet sound like Wet stray dogs Nameless confused Looking for a home I write it down Into a And you'll be warm When it comes, you'll be warned You'll be warm You'll be warm Slow Burn Treason Wake up and you're next to nothing But the weight of the world is on your side Most days you don't even notice But that's a lie All you want is her eyes on you All you need is one hand deep inside Outside the wind she's screaming The windows shake and you cry But who's gonna feel you And who's gonna need you Copy paste is not good for health And in-between there's always someone They don't get you, but you reach and smile And maybe this slow burn treason Is better than the crash of a quick rise So brave the cold and close your mouth I'll bite your tongue if you'll bite mine Yeah lay your head on my legs, babe Everything is fine except the time But who's gonna feel you And who's gonna need you Who's gonna feel you Who's gonna need you Who's gonna want you Who's gonna hold you Who's gonna love you Who's gonna tease you Who Wake up and you're next to nothing But the weight of the world is on your side Most days you don't even notice But that's a lie Sweet Dreams And thank you for the sweet wishes for dreams Even though they grow further between Yeah it seems these days I'm just trying to stay on my feet I walk through crowds so I never hear one heartbeat I found my goddess, she was staring at me from the sky With the sun in her eyes and clouds And they say you would never let me go Never let me go Never let me Copy paste is not good for health I hope you find one that's so sweet Hold on tight to what you see And they say They say sharks patrol these waters But if you Everytime I Go To Sleep Every time I go to sleep, I kick and scream and dream a little bit Violently awakening to what's real is really bullshit Every time I go to sleep, I kick and scream and dream a little bit Violently awakening to what's real is really bullshit And there's no light for me Every time I go to sleep, I kick and scream and dream a little bit Violently awakening to what's real is really bullshit Every time I go to sleep, I kick and scream and dream a little bit Violently awakening to what's real is really bullshit And there's no time waiting All this space, we stretch to bend to pull To keep our face on the other side of the world And there's no going back And there's only change Copy paste is not good for health All my life has been on the edge of falling down One cool night, they're gonna put my heart in the ground And there's no going back And there's only change High Tide I know the way when the time is right I know to wait till the tide is high We go on We go on And anywhere you go is where you're always gonna be You won't

I've spent too long in sinking sand Holding breath only to defy death A narrow escape only to be saved A narrow escape only Copy paste is not good for health By your caress Or was it something in your eyes Or was it in your lips That made me feel sane Curl yourself around my frame Our canvas is still one that's blank Curl yourself around my frame Our canvas is still one that's blank Curl yourself around my frame Our canvas is still one that's blank Oh curl yourself around my frame Our canvas is still blank Sleep On Fire Love you go down smooth I am crushing you I can barely move With no feet on the ground A head full of clouds But I don't care Copy paste is not good for health There's no place I want to wake up but beside you And all your million billion Tiny little kisses all fill me up Make me shiny And sleep like your bed's on fire And sleep like your bed's on fire 'Cause it just might be

Blood Bank (Bon Iver Cover) Well, I met you at the blood bank We were looking at the bags Wondering if any of the colors Matched any of the names we knew on the tags You said "see lookit, that's yours Stacked on top with your brother's See how they resemble one another Even in their plastic little covers" And I said I know it well That secret that you knew But don't know how to tell It fucks with your honor And it teases your head But you know that it's good, girl 'Cause its running you with red Then the snow started falling We were stuck out in your car You were rubbing both of my hands Chewing on a candy bar You said "ain't this just like the present To be showing up like this" As a moon waned to crescent We started to kiss And I said I know it well That secret that we know That we don't know how to tell I'm in love with your honor I'm in love with your cheeks What's that noise up the stairs babe?

Breathe / Time (Pink Floyd cover / Holly Miranda & The Antlers / Live at Maxwell's, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA, 2009-10-03) Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, but don't leave me Look around and choose your own ground For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race toward an early grave Run, run, rabbit, run Dig that hole, forget the sun And when at last the work is done Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one For long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Copy paste is not good for health And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again And the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The song is over, the time is gone, thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come in cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bells Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells

Fourth Of July (Sufjan Stevens cover) The evil it spread like a fever ahead It was night when you died, my firefly What could I have said to raise you from the dead Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July "Well, you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn Or the Fourth of July We're all gonna die" Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head Was it all a disguise, like Junior High Where everything was fiction, future and prediction Now where am I, my fading supply Copy paste is not good for health "Did you get enough love, my little dove Why do you cry And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best Though it never felt right My little Versailles" The hospital asked should the body be cast Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth Do you find it all right, my dragonfly "Shall we look at the moon, my little loon Why do you cry Make the most of your life while it is rife While it is light "Well, you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn Or the Fourth of July We're all gonna die" We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die

Two (The Antlers cover) In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up When a doctor came to tell me, "Enough is enough" He brought me out into the hall, I could have sworn it was haunted And told me something that I didn't know that I wanted to hear That there was nothing that I could do to save you The choir's gonna sing and this thing is gonna kill you Something in my throat made my next words shake And something in the wires made the light bulbs break There was glass inside my feet and raining down from the ceiling It opened up the scars that had just finished healing It tore apart the canyon running down your femur I though that it was beautiful, it made me a believer And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room But I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the pain You came to hating me again and just sang your refrain Copy paste is not good for health You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare You were just a little kid and they cut your hair Then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying They should have listened, they thought that you were lying Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up Built the gears in your head, now he greases them up And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating "Eighty seven pounds" and this all bears repeating Tell me when you think that we became so unhappy Wearing silver rings with nobody clapping When we moved here together we were so disappointed Sleeping out of tune with our dreams disjointed It killed me to see you getting always rejected But I didn't mind the things you threw, the phones I deflected I didn't mind you blaming me for all your mistakes I just held you in the door frame through all of the earthquakes But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night I would try to grab your ankles, what a pitiful sight But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you From stomping out that door, coming back like you always do Well, no one's gonna fix it for us, no one can You say that no one's gonna listen, no one understands So there's no open doors and there's no way to get though There's no other witnesses, just us two There's two people living in one small room From your two half-families tearing at you Two ways to tell the story, no one worries Two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry Two people talking inside your brain Two people believing that I'm the one to blame Two different voices coming out of your mouth While I'm too cold to care and too sick to shout You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare You were just a little kid and they cut your hair Then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying They should have listened, they thought that you were lying Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up Built the gears in your head, now he greases them up And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating "Eighty seven pounds" and this all bears repeating
Without You (Tobias Jesso Jr cover) Why can't you just love me Should I move on or should I wait And how'd you get so high above me I reach higher every day Copy paste is not good for health But nothing changes No, it all just stays the same I can hardly breathe without you There is no future I want to see without you I just don't know who I would be without you There is nothing out there for me without you Without you I feel like I just hit the ground Wish I could show you what it's like But you will never come down And I've been staying up at night To face the changes But they all just stay the same I can hardly breathe without you There is no future I want to see without you I just don't know who I would be without you There is nothing out there for me without you Without you Oh what have you got to lose Oh what have you got to lose Oh what have you got to lose I can hardly breathe without you There is no future I want to see without you I just don't know who I would be without you There is nothing out there for me without you There is nothing out there There is nothing out there There is nothing out there Without you
