Holy Holy Profile
Expansive guitar tones wash over you in this lyrical, accessible offering. Subtly dramatic builds convey a serious tone without trying to appear overly poignant. While opener House Of Cards fits the ultra-modern, indie-rock bill, single Impossible Like You exudes a timeless sound. Closer Cincinnati has an edgier quality, wavering between trebly high-pitched notes. But the EP depicts a consistent mood: a sort of upbeat, cinematic melancholy. Considering how hard it is to distinguish yourself within this genre, Holy Holy do a stand-up job: clean, intricate and, at times, serene. They play Corner Hotel, 3 and 4 May.
