about

"So Long Holly" is the first single from the Icelandic art pop duo Kig & Husk.
The song is a critique of toxic masculinity still found in various socially acceptable institutions and behaviour (e.g. male choirs, country clubs, Freemasons, gender segregated chess tournaments etc.) - the whole being more dangerous than the sum of its parts. The bass is in the forefront; aggressive, unwavering and self-righteous and on top, an incisive Bowie-influenced guitar-riff (a la Scary Monsters). The title of the song is a reference to the sample heard at the end, taken from Orson Wells’ (in)famous monologue in the1949 film, The Third Man: “In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”
