Holy Holy Announce New LP 'Hello My Beautiful World', Stream "Believe Anything"

Aussie indie rock/alt duo Holy Holy (Oscar Dawson and Timothy Carroll) have announced the release of their fourth studio album 'Hello My Beautiful World'. 

The follow-up to 2019's My Own Pool of Light, is their most daring and truthful album to date, it features the hit songs ‘Port Rd’, ‘How You Been’ and new single ‘Believe Anything, and will land on Friday 20 August via Wonderlick Recording Company. Pre-order your copy here.

From the band:  We made the album in a series of basic studios in Victoria and Tasmania, believing that studios don't make much difference to how our songs sound. We wrote, recorded, mixed and produced it ourselves against the background of the global pandemic.

We collaborated with Queen P and CLEWS. With Japanese Wallpaper and Kim from The Presets.

We worked a lot with Toby Alexander, who created detailed and beautiful string arrangements of our demos, which we combined with a palette of synths, beats and vocals motifs in a way we found compelling and satisfying.

We were given all the freedom in the world to do whatever we wanted, and this is what we did.
It's an interesting body of work. Full to breaking point with ideas. A record that will suit repeated listening.

The songs dwell in the details of living. Dreams are a theme. Dreams you have when you're sleeping. Not the dreams you come up with when you're awake. Not a series of desires. Dreams where you have no control, and you scare yourself.  

It's rhythmic and cinematic. Grand at times and at times starkly intimate. A collection of moods we stumbled into as the world we thought we knew was changed.

Check out the album's tracklist and listen to their new single "Believe Anything", below.

Watch: Spector Drop "Catch You On The Way Back In" Music Video

London-based indie rock band Spector have dropped the video for their latest single "Catch You On The Way Back In".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their forthcoming new album 'Now Or Whenever', set to be released on October 1st via their own Moth Noise imprint. Pre-order it here.

Speaking about it, Fred Macpherson said: “Catch You on the Way Back In’ is a 160bpm bon voyage: An “until next time” for when you don’t know how long the next time might be. It's music for closing and music for opening, and strangely both the first track we started for the album and the last before we didn’t see each other in the flesh for six months. It’s more of a drinking song than a thinking song, so it will probably make most sense when we’re all allowed in the same room again.”

About the song, Littauer says “It’s about the desire to break out of daily routines and boredom, craving for headspace, excitement and bigger emotions.
