Laura Holliday releases the poignant new single, ‘Fibronostalgia’, a heartfelt folk-pop track that explores healing from past trauma and the daily struggles that accompany it.
Laura Holliday – Fibronostalgia
LA-based artist Laura Holliday has been writing and recording their own music since the age of 12. She creates thoughtful indie-pop music that explores themes of living with chronic illness, dealing with trauma, and embracing gender queerness. Laura’s lyrics take on a diaristic style, reflecting personal experiences, while her instrumental range spans from queer pop to folk-inspired, naturalistic tones. With a background in comedy, Laura approaches heavy topics with humour, making them feel more accessible and easier to process.
Their latest track, ‘Fibronostalgia’, is an emotional journey that delves into generational trauma, chronic fatigue, and the nature of memory. It reflects the exhaustion of trying to meet others’ expectations while struggling with a chronic illness, and the ongoing quest to feel worthy despite those limitations. The song paints a vivid picture of how trauma can subtly shape your life, often going unrecognized until years later, when its effects become clear, and the healing process begins.
Laura’s poignant lyrics keep the listener engaged from start to finish, offering a deeply personal and resonant experience. Musically, ‘Fibronostalgia’ delivers on its pop-folk promise with a bouncy arrangement of acoustic guitar, gentle percussion, and banjo. The production, handled expertly by Alyssa Wilkens, ensures that each element is clear and complements the others. Laura’s crisp vocals sit front and centre, supported by delicate backing harmonies that add depth to the track.
“Laura’s new single, Fibronostalgia, is a refreshing and empowering track that addresses chronic fatigue, a topic rarely explored in music. Its relatable story offers comfort to many, reminding listeners that they are not alone in their struggles.”
