Though short-lived, Holy Moses came up with one of the most enduring hard rock one-offs of the the early 70s, packed with strong songs and blazing guitar parts by Ted Spelios, whose playing is said to have stunned the young Bruce Springsteen. Produced by Kim King (Lothar and the Hand People) and Mike Esposito (the Blues Magoos), and recorded at Jimi Hendrix’s legendary Electric Lady studio in New York, the album soon vanished on release in 1971, but its cult reputation has grown steadily ever since.
Arriving at a moment where attention spans are shot and anxieties are going into overdrive, Deleter, Holy Fuck’s fifth studio LP, is a defiantly full-bodied affair. Polyrhythmic and pleasure-focused, Deleter sees Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt Schulz, and Matt “Punchy” McQuaid utilises their signature sound - seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house’s dreamy ineffability, expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz and tang they are renowned for. From the thrusting minimalism of opener Luxe through to the triumphant chug of closing track Ruby, via club-ready rollocker Free Gloss and the cosmic clatter of San Sebastian, Deleter is a record that joins the Holy Fuck dots within their widescreen, technicolour, crescendo-heavy sound.
Latvia's Progressive rock band Holy Lamb tells a slightly unconventional story about music. The musicians chose to integrate various shades of rock n' roll into their music. The result is as adventurous as it could possibly get. Released in the year 2016, "Gyrosophy" is the fourth studio album by Holy Lamb, the perfect way to celebrate the band's twenty-fifth anniversary. This record contains four songs and four instrumental tracks with a lot of emphasis on melodies, arrangements and musicianship. Great combination of Organ, Piano and guitar in instrumental parts. The album was devised, recorded and produced by the group itself, mixed at the Mars Yapim Studios in Ankara (Turkey), mastered by Jon Astley in the United Kingdom, and eventually published by the French label Musea Parallèle.
