| Today, Austin, Texas outfit Holy Wave continue to push their historically psychedelic sound with intricate, heady single “Nothing in the Dark”, premiering on post-trash. It’s accompanied by a beautifully-shot, atmospheric visual, directed by Vanessa Pla. The track follows airy “Bog Song,” and psych-tinged single “Happier” featuring Mint Field’s Estrella del Sol. Both songs taken from their upcoming new album Five of Cups, out August 4, 2023 on Suicide Squeeze Records. The band have also announced further US + UK/EU fall tour dates. |
| On the track, band member, Cook offers: “Nothing in the Dark is about how easy it is to let fear take over and control what you do and don’t do, how distractions can keep you from the things you want or disguise themselves as what you want. But when the light disappears from your life, like shadows, the distractions fade away, and you’re left with just yourself and the darkness. So I guess the song is about moving past the fear of the shadows; you can see in the light so that you don’t end up sitting alone in the dark.” On the video, band member, Fuson offers: “We all acted in the video, but we also did the set design and all the props. Since it was a super small budget, we had to wear a bunch of hats to afford to pay the people who were good at their jobs, haha. The director Vanessa Pla also made some mean carnitas for the crew. They were fire.” Tour dates Live Dates Aug 8 – Andy’s – Denton, TX Aug 9 – Opolis – Norman, OK Aug 11 – Back Alley Ballyhoo – Indianapolis, IN Aug 12 – JJs Bohemia – Chattanooga, TN Aug 13 – Upstairs at Avondale – Birmingham, AL Aug 15 – Alabama Music Box – Mobile, AL Aug 16 – Continental Club – Houston, TX Aug 17 – Paper Tiger – San Antonio, TX Oct 12 – Constellation Room – Santa Ana, CA Oct 14 – Sister – Albuquerque, NM Oct 15 – Hi-Dive – Denver, CO Oct 17 – Sleeping Village – Chicago, IL Oct 18 – Lager House – Detroit, MI Oct 20 – No Fun – Troy, NY Oct 21 – Mercury Lounge – NYC, NY Oct 22 – Baby’s All Right – Brooklyn, NY Oct 23 – Metro Baltimore – Baltimore, MD Oct 25 – Gasa Gasa – New Orleans, LA Oct 26 – Levitation – Austin, TX Oct 29 – Love Buzz – El Paso, TX Oct 30 – The Rebel Lounge – Phoenix, AZ Oct 31 – Casbah – San Diego, CA Nov 1 – Lodge Room – Highland Park, CA 11/7 – Lille, FR – L’Aéronef 11/8 – Groningen, NL – Vera 11/9 – Copenhagen, DK – Stengade 11/10 – Berlin, DE – Kesselhaus 11/11 – Halle, DE – Huhnermanhattan 11/12 – Prague, CZ – Cafe V Lese 11/13 – Munich, DE – Milla 11/16- Bucharest, RO – Control Club 11/17 – Belgrade, SE – Dom Onladine 11/19 – Zagreb, HR – Vintage Industrial 11/21 – Lyon, FR – Le Sonic 11/22 – Barcelona, ES – Sala Upload 11/23 – San Sebastian, ES – Dabadaba 11/24 – Madrid, ES – Wurlitzer Ballroom 11/28 – Vigo, ES – Kominski 11/30 – Bordeaux, FR – Allez Les Filles 12/1 – Paris, FR – Point Ephemere 12/2 – Brussels, BE – Botanique 12/3 – The Hague, NL – Hink Festival 12/4 – Amsterdam, NL – Paradiso 12/6 – Brighton, UK – The Hope & Ruin 12/7 – Bristol, UK – Crofters Rights 12/8 – Manchester, UK – YES 12/9 – Glasgow, UK – Stereo 12/10 Newcastle, UK – Cluny 2 12/11 – Leeds, UK – Brudenell Social Club 12/12 – London, UK – Moth Club Keep your mind open.
