Platform (Vinyl)
Release Date:
Holly Herndon has become a leading light in contemporary alternative and electronic music by fearlessly experimenting within the outer reaches of dance music and pop songwriting structures. A galvanizing statement, Platform cements Herndons reputation as a unique musician with a singular voice. Born in Tennessee, but reared on music abroad, Herndon broke out from her formative years in Berlins minimal techno scene to repatriate to San Francisco, where she currently lives and studies as a doctoral candidate at Stanfords Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Herndons debut album Movement, released in 2012, showcased Herndons fascination with trance and the disjunctive sampling techniques pioneered by avant-garde composition. Offering what Herndon describes as a rupture, a paradisic gesture, Platform is an optimistic breakthrough for Herndon, an appeal for progress, and a step toward new ways to love.
