You need to know about this record. Sounds like !!! without the rave dance moves… every great kraut band jamming with each other on speed… where we had hoped LCD Soundsystem would have gone after Losing My Edge!
Holy Fuck don’t hide behind laptop computers and walls of synthesizers – think of them as a celebration of lo-fi noise and weirdo Casio-driven rock. One might say that if modern electronic music is a highly sophisticated robot operated by hi-tech computers, Holy Fuck are the evil counterpart. The often cheesy beats, like rhumba, disco and techno emitted by these half-broken kid’s toys are then manipulated with guitar peddles and distorting cheapo mixers. The end result is a punk rock background with epic kraut-rock climaxes and danceable fun.
Formed in Toronto a little over three years ago, Holy Fuck have graced the stages at some of the largest music festivals in the world including Glastonbury (NME named them in the Top Three new bands at this year’s festival), Coachella, All Tomorrow’s Parties, and are balanced somewhere between an experimental noise-out and a free-for-all dance party. The band are currently supporting UNKLE in the US.
PITCHFORK “Opulent streams of saturated melody, clouds of glitter and confetti, nitrousboosted dance dynamics…Holy Fuck set the bar awfully high.”
