Nicole Dollanganger is a singer-songwriter from Stouffville, an eerily silent suburb of Toronto. She has been releasing her music without any label support via https://nicoledollanganger.bandcamp.com since 2012 before she was signed in 2015 by Eerie Organization, the collective/artist incubator run by Claire Boucher aka Grimes. Her music is characterized by her innocent-sounding voice accompanied by a spare instrumentation that stands in stark contrast to dark, sometimes macabre lyrics.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
GmDm Curdled like milk in the summer heat F my skull’s gone soft C my head is spoiled GmDm my heart’s a rabid dog trying to FC put its teeth in you GmDm you thought you saw light but it was forest fires F eating me alive C my limbs are dead and dry GmDm my ribcage cradles dirt and weeds FC I’m empty inside
GmDmF And I will never be able to love you C I couldn’t if I tried GmDm and I will lay down next to you FC but I fear a dead body would feel warm compared to mine GmDmF cause I’m barren C on the inside GmDmF cause I’m barren C on the inside
GmDm You tried to make love to my empty womb F tried to stuff me like a doll C with pieces of you GmDm but it all seeps from my loosened seams F I took myself apart C and cut off my strings Gm and scraped the remains Dm from my starving bowels FC collected them into garbage piles Gm to try in bags Dm sink in the lake FC and bury at the bottom all my sad mistakes
GmDmF And I will never be able to love you C I couldn’t if I tried GmDm and I will lay down next to you FC but I fear a dead body would feel warm compared to mine GmDmF cause I’m barren C on the inside GmDmF cause I’m barren C on the inside
