More Holy Fuck Holy Fuck

Props to Canadian powerhouse Holy Fuck for a direct-to-brain record the likes of which they have not produced before. 

Congrats represents a turning point for the band; a step away from the punky sound that they're known for and a lean towards carefully crafted soundscapes. While Xed Eyes sounds like a banshee party recorded in the depths of a Canadian winter, Shivering is more akin to the ethereal Explosions In The Sky. In either guise, Congrats [mostly] works.
