HOLY FAMILY - Values (Sealed) (CD)

Digifile. Recorded with Kevin Barnes (Of Montreal) Values is choc full of frenzied percussive grooves, piano led baselines and euphoric melodies. Brings to mind other indie stalwarts like Phoenix, TV On The Radio and even Wolf Parade. Incidentally much of the record was written while the band were living in Montreal, maybe the Canadian sound rubbed off on them. Mixed by David Pye who didthe first Wild Beasts album too. With little time for breaks, the combination of fatigue and time constraints forced the band beyond their comfort zone and into new sonic realms, giving the record it’s eclectic feel recalling the experimentalism of Blur or Grizzly Bear with the technical style of late 60s song-writing.
