Awesome Australian rockers Holy Holy have unveiled the video to their new single ‘Darwinism’. You can watch the world premiere on Gigwise below.
The band who have two core members and employ top-notch session players, sound accomplished enough to be taking on stadiums, and fans of The National and Interpol will be fueled with confidence that anthemic indie is still done well.
'Darwinism' would melt hearts just sang on an acoustic, but wigged-out guitar solos, horns, and backing vocals show the band pushing their creative limits, and driving in all the right directions.
This track is the first song to be lifted from their second album, set for release in 2017. If the consequence of their first album, released last year, was to see them break in their native Australia - they reached number 11 in the charts with it. Then the second album, if ‘Darwinism’ is anything to go by, will see Holy Holy make a huge impact internationally. They’ve got to a level now where they're too powerful to go unnoticed.
The film, shot in black in white, captures the band performing live with conviction and is cut with some spectacular retro film footage.
The band have have a few surprises up their sleeve for fans attending their UK and European tour in September and October. Guitarist Oscar Dawson gives some insight: “The sound has developed and expanded. We’re using different textures, stretching out the sound, playing louder, swapping instruments in some instances, and for some of the shows we may even bring some horns along. So the show has become more exciting and vibrant.”
The tour includes a tantalising show with fast rising London-based rock sorts Saint Agnes have been added as support for Electrowerkz.
