"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.

8/10 - NME
“One of the most impressive debut releases I’ve ever heard.” INDIESHUFFLE 
“One of the standout albums to be released this year…almost perfect”   THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, SYDNEY
Classic songs. Huge supports. Sold-out headline tours to heaving crowds singing along to every word. International showcases with queues down the street. Raves from radio programmers, journalists and bloggers from all over the world…Australian duo HOLY HOLY had experienced much even before launching an album. Then their debut album hit shelves first in Aus then the UK & Europe in late 2015, and “When The Storms Would Come” is vaster, and wilder, than anything they've aired to date. The Australian public and media alike showed their passionate appreciation for this incredible album with 20 sold out shows across the country & stunning reviews for both the album & their electric live show & Triple J adding their 6th single to high rotation. When released in the UK a few months later again the reviews were astonishing – every publication giving the band 4 or 5 star reviews including some of the country’s biggest, most influential publications, spins on Radio 1, 2, 6 & Radio X, 2 sold out London shows, shows across Europe, a night addition on 3FM in The Netherlands & Radio Eins in Germany. And Holy Holy are just getting started.
