The Sound
Dutch Holly’s music occupies the intersection of indie pop, indie electronic, and indietronica, drawing from alternative pop, synthpop, ambient electronic music, and cinematic composition. Their live performances combine layered synthesizers, guitar, vocals, and visual storytelling into immersive experiences that blur the line between concert and installation.
Dutch Holly uses MIDI programming, loops/beats/samples, and live-looping blended with live instruments vocal harmonies, and live effects to create a dance-able psychedelic sound that mesmerizes critics and fans alike and has garnered new followers everywhere the duo plays.

Another recent release, “Let the Light In” with an accompanying music video has enjoyed national success and is currently in rotation on several college and independent radio stations, and new-music podcasts.
