Having made critical waves in the U.K., with television performances on Later with Jools Holland and British media including The Guardian, The Times, NME and more weighing in on her debut single "Holland," Cold Specks immediately duplicated that well-deserved attention at home following the release of single "Holland" and debut full-length I Predict A Graceful Expulsion.
