••• HOLY WAVE INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK SPOTIFY YOUTUBE Holy Wave is an
experimental dream-pop band originally from El Paso, Texas. After
seeing a life-altering performance by My Bloody Valentine in 2008, the
band moved to Austin to pursue their own vision of Texas psych, their
sweet melodies dyed in carefully constructed noise. Over the course of
four albums, the band have cemented themselves as a staple force in
the international indie scene, with key performances at Levitation,
Desert Daze, and nearly every psych gathering on the planet. They’ve
toured the world, and shared the stage with heroes such as Slowdive,
Spiritualized, Hope Sandoval and The Black Angels. Their body of work
has received critical acclaim from Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound,
Paste Magazine and countless others, and in 2020 they are prepared to
release their latest body of work. Interloper sees the band adding new
layers to their lush and mesmerizing songwriting style. Written about
the duality between life at home and life on the road, it sees the
band expanding on their most esoteric and thought-provoking themes.
“I’m Not Living in the Past Anymore” is a mantra about breaking
the cycle of the mundane, “Escapism” is a dream-like meditation.
“Interloper” serves as the centerpiece for this self-expanding
record, asking, what happens when the world beneath your feet changes
so much that you feel like a stranger in your own shoes? The band
turns inward, to blissed-out moments on album opener
“Schmetterling”, the saccharine haze of “R&B”, and the
freak-out catharsis of live favorite “Buddhist Pete”. With
Interloper Holy Wave weaves together a contemplative tapestry that can
serve as a road map for the diffident, a soundtrack to
self-realization, or simply an invitation to escape. PEEL DREAM
MAGAZINE FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM SPOTIFY YOUTUBE Peel Dream Magazine is the
nom de plume of New York City-based musician Joe Stevens. A nod to BBC
Radio 1 legend John Peel, arbiter of all things underground, Peel
Dream Magazine is highly evocative of a certain strain of independent
music. As Stevens explains, “I wanted to create an outlet for
subcultural wanderers. Something you can subscribe to."
