No Help Coming

No Help Coming

London-born, Georgia-based Holly Golightly has been making raw, visceral music since the mid-‘90s when she went solo after years of working with another underground legend, Billy Childish. Her collaborations with Texas musician Lawyer Dave, who is “The Brokeoffs,” have been fruitful in giving Golightly a co-conspirator who anticipates and enhances her every move. Golightly claims to never evolve as a musician, sticking with the same basic chords and approach from one release to the next. Each of her records is a trip into a lo-fi amusement park where gutter blues, dirty garage rock and tortured rockabilly and blues licks are thrown in a blender to see what becomes of the soup. With no tendencies towards self-indulgence, the songs are quick and to the point. “Get Out My House,” “Burn o’ Junk Pile Burn” and covers such as Bill Anderson’s “Lord Knows We’re Drinking” and the R&B obscurity “Here Lies My Love” make spooky good sense.
