Don't Fall in Love /Wish 7"

Don't Fall In Love

Concrete Oaths is a dark, cinematic post-punk record built on silence, restraint, and unspoken codes. Set in shadowed streets and quiet rooms, the album explores loyalty, memory, boundaries, and the invisible rules that govern human behavior. Each track moves with measured intensity — driven by minimal rhythms, deep basslines, and spoken-leaning vocals that feel more observed than performed.

Rather than glorifying violence or bravado, Concrete Oaths focuses on what exists underneath: discipline, consequence, dignity, and the weight of choices that never need to be explained. It’s an album about presence over noise, restraint over spectacle, and the quiet authority of those who move without announcement.

Cold, reflective, and atmospheric, this record lives in the space between shadow and resolve — where silence speaks louder than words.

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.
