The Dear Hunter

Grey Street is only one song of an incredible set list from the October 14, 2010 show at Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  The handpicked show is now available for  pre-order as Live Trax 27. The crowd in Argentina was one of the most energetic the band has encountered and the band fed off this energy as evidenced by their supercharged performance. The full setlist features a wide range of songs from nearly all of the band’s albums. Highlights include the one-two punch of Big Eyed Fish » Bartender in the beginning of the set, #41 in the middle, and a scorching Two Step to wrap it up.  A full audio recording of this show has not been available until this release, making this a volume you’ll definitely want to add to your DMB collection!

Lyrics:
This is the tale of a bearded sloth who debases himself so they can get their rocks off. Recruits five skinny, better-looking men to play guitar parts he'll never play again. So it's lash after lash like a budget Christ from every blog or zine that took the chance to look twice. I'm not saying that this dude is me or speaking brutally of myself to gain traction. Action! There goes the camera. Click. American Indie-Rock is a game of pricks. They're the gods of what was independent rock and now is vaguely refined hogwash that I mock. Jacket patched up with a Wesleyan degree. Legs bound. Tongue out. Grinning as they piss on me but I don't care. It's what I'm known for. I'll take it gleefully. I'm wrong and you're right and that's my thesis here tonight with my gut and my bulge. I'll make the whole world scream, the whole room bleed. I'll lose for your gain if it'll spruce up my refrain. It's what they want. The band plays while the ship goes down. "I hate that dude now that he's married. He's got a baby on the way; poor Sherri. That's not apropos. He's not the wretch we know. Chop his family up so we can feed them to the front row. Spike his fifteenth espresso with drugs so he's convinced it's a manic delusion to know true love. Be 19 with a joint in hand. Never change the band. Never ever be a ...real man." This isn't for the ones who know what it really means. They just follow other people's dreams. They were told by a friend of a friend of a friend. Music made to be used and forgotten again like a whore, like a pair of washed out expensive retro boys underwear we can never repair.

The Dear Hunter - Waves

"Sentimental & Monday" is premiered on 10th July 2015 and is the brand new single from Holy Holy's forthcoming album "When The Storms Would Come" - out 24 July in Aus, and 29 Oct in UK/EU. (You can preorder here.. http://smarturl.it/WTSWC)

Carroll, from Brisbane, and Melbournian guitarist/composer Oscar Dawson initially crossed paths as volunteer English teachers in Southeast Asia. They reconnected in 2011 while both again leading transient lives in Europe. Carroll, an acclaimed singer/songwriter, was living in Stockholm. Dawson had transplanted to Berlin with his then band Dukes Of Windsor. When Dawson traveled to Sweden, Carroll asked him to assist with some songs. They ended up with a "suite of demos". The pair continued collaborating back in Australia. "At that stage we weren't even really sure what the project was going to be," Carroll admits. "We were just feeling our way through it." Regardless, the duo began penning darker, more intense material. The newly anointed HOLY HOLY issued the psychedelic, if foreboding, Impossible Like You as their first single, attracting triple j spins – and buzz. And it's been an exciting and event-filled 2 years since... 

In 2014 the "project" morphed into a full live band, enlisting drummer Ryan Strathie (ex-Hungry Kids Of Hungary) and bassist Graham Ritchie (Airling's collaborator). Their reclusive producer, Matt Redlich (Ball Park Music, Emma Louise, The Trouble With Templeton), also joins them as a "special guest", hiding behind a Prophet-08 synth. "He's a bit like our Nigel Godrich kinda character," Dawson quips. 

HOLY HOLY's "music tragics" bonded over Neil Young (and Crazy Horse), Crosby, Stills & Nash, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd and Dire Straits, as well as contemporary acts like Midlake, Band Of Horses and Grizzly Bear. And these myriad influences have fed into When The Storms Would Come. Indeed, though HOLY HOLY cherish "old, classic songwriting", that nostalgia is juxtaposed with a modern aesthetic. In the studio the band recorded live onto Redlich's two-inch tape, configured to 16-track. "You get this really warm, saturated colour," Dawson enthuses. However, eschewing rigid traditionalism, HOLY HOLY occasionally utilised digital post-production. Redlich encouraged them to follow their instincts in determining the best approach, song by song. "He'll be ballsy with his decisions," Dawson explains. "He will make the decision in the moment as to what the sound is supposed to be… It makes the recording a whole lot more exciting because, as you're recording, you're hearing it as it's gonna sound." As such, When The Storms Would Come – led by the jagged single History – sounds "natural".   Dawson holds that HOLY HOLY's unique sound has evolved into something that's amplified, or "weighty" – their sonorous, sublime melodies augmented by "stronger, more powerful guitars and bigger vocals" and rhythmically-dense drumming.
