Ball of Wax 61 Songs: Holly Small – “I Don’t KNOW​!​”

Have you met Holly Small? She sang lead in Wearbearcat! and was a prominent member of the Talking Heads cover band This Is Not My Beautiful Band. These days, Holly’s focus is on her original electro-pop music and electronic jazz arrangements as well as being a member of the (almost) all woman rock/soul band Grace Love and the Dirty Church. Okay, enough backstory. Holly’s piece “I Don’t KNOW!” gets off to a running start, spinning you until you’re dizzy enough to not know either. And then the next section hits and you’re grooving to a steady beat and a beautiful pop melody that slips off and drops you into dizzying spins again. And there’s certainly a story being told in the bridge section that returns to the steady beat and melody triumphantly. What can I say? I also don’t KNOW! but I really dig this tune.
