Nicole Dollanganger (real name Nicole Bell, born September 8, 1991) is a Canadian, lo-fi musician known for her haunting vocals and eerie lyrics. Her songs have common themes of Domestic Abuse, Destructive Romance, sex, BDSM, and occasional sweet dates.She first started releasing music in 2011, posting her demos on her Tumblr blog. She wrote and produced her first four records on her own, recording her songs in her bedroom and bathroom and self-releasing them on SoundCloud and Bandcamp. In 2015, Canadian musician Grimes discovered her music and started the (now-defunct) record label known as Eerie Organization to release and distribute Nicole's music to a wider audience. Since then, her music has been co-produced by producer and engineer Matthew Tomasi.

Rape as Drama: Many of her songs imply this, such as "Flowers of Flesh and Blood" and "Angels of Porn". That being said, her work tends to treat it more sensitively than many other examples of this Trope.

Darker and Edgier: Relatively, since it's Nicole, but the b-side "Have You Seen Me?" and the alternative version of "Beautiful and Bad" have full on Heavy Metal instrumentation, compared to her usual fare of ethereal folk ballads.

New Sound Album
 Nicole Dollanganger (Music) / int_22093e9b
comment
New Sound Album: Her first four records are all quite spare due to being produced completely on her own, usually only being piano/guitar and voice. On Natural Born Losers the production is kicked up a notch, with electric guitar veering into an almost Noise Rock-ish sound. Heart Shaped Bed brings in more synths and electronic drums.

Shout-Out
 Nicole Dollanganger (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several throughout her discography: Her stage name itself is a reference to the central family of the Flowers in the Attic book series. The song "Cries of the Elephant Man Bones," is about Joseph Merrickand samples dialogue from The Elephant Man. Also references the "one of us" chant from Freaks. The song "Beverly Marsh". Her album titles Ode To Dawn Wiener: Embarassing Love Songs and Greta Gibson Forever mention characters from Welcome to the Dollhouse and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child respectively. Observatory Mansions is named after the 2010 novel by Edward Carey. "Blue Moon Motel" contains the lines: Married in Mount Airy references the defunct Mount Airy lodge in the Poconos. She has an unreleased demo titled "An Open Letter to Glenn Danzig." The interlude "A Marvelous Persona" and the song "Bunny Boy" are references to Gummo.

Troubled, but Cute
 Nicole Dollanganger (Music) / int_d22a7df2
comment
Troubled, but Cute: The objects of affection in many of Dollanganger's songs are of young men that fit this archetype, particularly those that are outwardly violent and cruel, but suffering on the inside. Notable examples include Rampage; sung from the perspective of a school shooter's admirer, it pulls many references from the Columbine High School massacre, whose perpetrators have this view in the eyes of the fandom surrounding them. Another example is Creek Blues, which earlier releases included the ragged cries of the Thurston High School shooter during his recorded confession.

All Girls Want Bad Boys
 Nicole Dollanganger (Music) / int_db2f3581
comment
All Girls Want Bad Boys: The male Love Interests in most of her works are this. "You're So Cool" being a notable example, since the song was written for Nicole's (now) ex-boyfriend because he was in jail and she was hoping that he would hear this song on the radio and it would brighten his day. An aversion of this is "Sweet Girl", in which Nicole falls in love with a nameless Nice Girl as opposed to a dangerous man.

Animal Motifs: Best seen in "Dog Teeth", where the abuser is compared to vicious dog. "Swan" and "Alligator Blood" also use animals (of course, a swan and an alligator respectively) as metaphors for the abuse that the speaker has endured.
