There are few better songs with which to get started. I don't care if it's starting to brush your hair in the morning or starting to look for a new job - this song will be in the background has you stare back in the mirror or start cleaning stacking copies of your resume. It'll put a little spring in your step and a smile in your eye.
These dudes from Canada have come a long way. Their method is to make music out of things they found in the trash. In the beginning that led to some beautifully loud creations that fell somewhere between noise and dance music.
A lot of times when a noisy band attempts to reign in its sound for more traditional song-based structures, the music usually suffers. But with the new Holy Fuck reord more focused and fine-tuned than anything they've released before, they've only gotten better. We've been sitting on the EP this LP is based on for what seems like a year as the band figured out which label was going to release it. And it all still sounds fresh. The perfectly compressed drums, the delicate strings, the classic melody.
At any rate, the new self-titled LP is available for pre-order from our friends at Beggars. Highly recommended. The band is also on tour this fall with our boys in Wolf Parade. Here are the dates:
