2017’s equal parts somnambulant and sultry Sleeprydr 7” was aptly described as “psychedelic rock that hits like a dream despite undoubtedly seeking to soundtrack nightmares” (-Stereogum). Thankfully, Slow Sundown, Holy Motors’ debut full length release, finds the Estonian dreamcatchers utilizing a similar sonic palette ranging from dark psychedelic pop to shoegaze-inflected western music. But while Sleeprydr, much like 2015’s Heavenly Creatures 7”, provided only a fleeting glimpse into the dreamscape that their music evokes, Slow Sundown’s eight tracks offer a more immersive experience for those brave enough to take the ride. While the guitar lines from lonely cowboy ballads like “Honeymooning” could easily serve as the central themes for unwritten Morriccone scores, dystopian anthems like the rhythmically propelled “Signs” break new ground for the band and demonstrate that Holy Motors are not bound by their influences. Thematically the album is comprised primarily of sad love songs centered around the idea of motion – the motion of a satellite orbiting a planet, the motion of a passenger riding shotgun in a car – as it relates to stellar-scale and existential isolation. Produced by Merchandise’s Carson Cox and recorded at Brooklyn’s Kutch1 Studios when the band was visiting the US on tourist visas, Slow Sundown is a beautiful alien artifact that definitively delivers on everything we have been promised by Holy Motors’ work to date.

About Holy Motors

Hailing from Estonia, Holy Motors is a five-piece twang and reverb band featuring three guitarists. They are cowboys at heart who come off as shoegazers by their presence and dreamcatchers in their music. In their time, Holy Motors have played alongside bands such as Kaleidoscope, Craft Spells, Sic Alps, Dirty Fences, and Rips. They will appear at South by Southwest in 2018 and are currently organizing a series of US tour dates centered around the festival.

STEREOGUM
Hits like a dream despite undoubtedly seeking to soundtrack nightmares
THE FADER
HOLY MOTORS makes shoegaze that sounds like the old west
ADHOC
Alluring in their delivery, entrapping in their substance

(what can only be found now? 
it can only be only found now
did you find it? do you see it? 
it can only be found now)

as if
as if staring at a gravesite
until I become a grave sight/site
would it make me a still life?

as if 
I knew what i knew 
but i don't
so i do what i do
so i go with the flow
until I'm blue
as if the notion to know shit
could save no one from nothing
as if I make space saved for placelessness
and be pasted into my peaceful bliss
as if I'm displaced
in this place
is it this face?
within this grin?

how bout that
how bout that
I'll walk into the landscape
I won't come back

how bout that
how bout that
I'll walk into away

how bout
how bout
I walk into the distance
until I become the distance
would it make me the distance

how bout
the still life with old shoes holds truth
deep in a blue mood with hues of gold sun views
it's the rear view and the real you
that haunt you
even here too, real soon
I'll walk away into a way of being
be it, I meant to mean it
reaching for meaning
but I'll wake up
I'm still Jacob
with still life
and self-love

how bout that
how bout that
I'll walk into the landscape
I won't come back

how bout that
how bout that
I'll walk into away

how bout that

Be The One You Love

Still Life

DESTROYER lyrics

well I’d rather be poor than to take anymore
these are delicate things these are people with dreams 
and you’re pushing them down until they can’t make a sound
yeah we've seen it before

here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior
here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior warrior warrior

no you can’t take my love away
no it’s all mine it’s here to stay
and when I’m lonely feeling blue
i close my eyes fly back to you fly back to you fly back to you

open it! that’s your vice for life for life 

here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior
here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior warrior warrior

i walked a mile for 7 days
and on the 3rd i kneeled to pray
i had a wish a dream a clue
i know that face i swear it’s you i swear it’s you i swear it’s you

open it! that’s your vice for life for life for life

well I’d rather be blind than to live off your dime
you keep pushing them down you’re just watching them drown
until they draw their last breath until there ain't nothing left
yeah we've seen it before

here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior
here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior warrior warrior

you’re the man on my back I been sent to attack
you’re the snake in the tree you’re the evil in me
these are criminal times better get back in line
you’ll see it all comes back to you it all comes back to you it all comes back to you it all comes back to you

well this was the last the time no we’re not doing fine
at the end of the day well there’s no other way
this is it at long last won’t be stuck in the past
it’s the end of the line

open it! that’s your vice for life for life for life for life for life for life
open it! that’s your vice for life for life for life for life for life for life

From the album Warrior, available April 6, 2018 from Western Vinyl

Pre-Order Warrior
Bandcamp: https://airwaves.bandcamp.com/album/warrior

WV: http://westernvinyl.com/shop/wv167

The album cover for Warrior, the third full-length by Brooklyn-based band Air Waves, features a ominous, androgynous figure standing with a bicycle, wearing a gas mask adorned with a daisy.  The remarkable image was taken on April 22nd, 1970 at the inaugural Earth Day celebration in New York City by Nicole Schneit’s dad, Martin Schneit.  Forty-seven years later, artist Em Rooney hand-painted Schneit’s original black & white photo, resulting in an image that radiates with Warrior’s indefatigable spirit, strength, and love

Like many queer women, Nicole Schneit is a warrior by necessity, fighting for basic rights, dignity, and acceptance.  Such determination in the face of hardship and injustice runs in Schneit’s family; her new album was inspired in part by her mom who was diagnosed with fallopian cancer last year.  As she explains, “The doctor told her she had a fifteen to twenty percent chance, and her response was ‘I’m going to get this mother fucker.’ So the title ‘Warrior’ and the song are about her. After chemotherapy,  surgery, and then more chemotherapy, all the cancer in her body has left and she's currently in remission. I feel like most of the people in my life, including myself, are warriors and have overcome obstacles that seemed impossible to defeat.”

The dignified fighter archetype referenced in the album’s title is explored on each of Warrior’s eleven pieces of bittersweet, empowering indie pop.  According to Schneit the song “Gay Bets”, written after the 2016 election is “about being gay and being proud and open. I was thinking about hate crimes spiking and the current state of the world. My friend Jennifer Moore, who sings on the track, was my partner a long time ago, so I felt like I was writing a fuck you to Trump, for trying to take away queer rights, women's rights, people's rights.”  The song “Tangerine” was inspired by the film of the same name in which two trans women try to make ends meet as prostitutes. This movie, a dark docu-comedy shot in the contrastingly sunny setting of L.A., reflects Schneit’s battle between identity and society via Brooklyn pop rock that swings between the pastel-tinged and the downright melancholic.

On the album’s gorgeous closer “Blue Fire,” (inspired by the Adrienne Rich poem "The Will to Change") Schneit equates her post-presidential-election anxiety to a flame that grows and recedes, as she pleads for herself and listeners to remain calm. Like its namesake, the track burns slowly and brightly into one of the most glowing points on the record, leaving the listener smiling with thoughtful hope.  Warrior’s highlights, and all of the unmissable, satisfying pieces that tie them together show Schneit’s perseverance and resilience through crumbling relationships, personal adversity, and the current political climate, all leading to her most powerful collection of songs to date. Understated, subtly sophisticated, and equally empowering and comforting, Warrior launches Air Waves above the apolitical complacency of too many of the group's contemporaries.  Schneit proudly declares her mission statement: “I want these songs to be heard by people in my queer community, but also by anyone that wants to feels strong, powerful, and included.”

At the bar where you literally saved me from fatal heartbreak

Song about getting heartbroken at a party. Thanks @urbanation for singing this song with me !

Will u be there for tonight?
Will u be getting drunk?
Or getting high?
We don’t have to stay if u
Don’t want to stay it’s cool 
We’ll share our night 

Did u really cry my name 
Did u even feel the same 
Before u came 
I’m too numb to feel the pain 
Who else am I to blame 
U left me drained

Will u be there for tonight?
Will u be getting drunk?
Or getting high?
We don’t have to stay if u
Don’t want to stay it’s cool 
We’ll share our night
