On his first two full-length albums, Wild Empty Promises (2017) and Rewire (2019), Holden Laurence garnered widespread praise for his unique combination of early Alternative and vivid, vulnerable songwriting. “Wild Empty Promises is a fantastic debut that blends Mope-rock, Post-punk and New Wave deftly... with its bittersweet tone and cinematic delivery.” - Cleveland Scene Magazine “Whether you’re falling in or out of love, or staring dreamily at the stars knowing he, she, ze or they are out there looking for you too, the songs on Rewire will fill your mixtapes and playlists with plenty of edgy, melodic, romantic, and darkly epic earworms.” – Popdose Starting in the fall of 2019, Holden released a series of singles that examines coming-of-age angst, the disillusionment of the new American Dream, and the obstacles of forming an identity, exploring sexuality, and developing healthy romantic relationships in the modern digital age. “Sublime and refined songwriting buoyed by irresistible melty melodies and immaculate production.” – Indie Buddie Holden's 2021 release, Floating, Drifting, examines the dissonance between the white-washed American Dream and the reality of modern life in the US. On Fires Fading into Black, Holden's gaze shifts back inward, a dissection of humanity - why we are the way that we are and if we're capable of real change, framed in the context of love and relationships.
