The Holy by Rachel Lipsitz

The Holy by Rachel Lipsitz

Introducing EMMA-nominated Finnish band, The Holy.

With a heavy focus on the live setting, their music is led by atmospheric piano chords and layered alt-rock, to create an equally inspiring set of tracks in their utopian themed album, ‘Mono Freedom’, released on 17 April via Playground Music.

Speaking further, frontman Eetu Henrik Iivari explains,

“The record and the lyrical themes are inspired by Alan Weisman’s book The World Without Us; a classic science book that explores a bunch of scenarios of what would happen to Mother Earth if humans were to disappear today.”

Sounds like: Ten Fé, The National, Bruce Springsteen, NEU!, The Twilight Sad, U2, The Slow Show

Lake Jons – I Don’t Care

Lake Jons

Lake Jons releases their new single ‘I Don’t Care’, lifted from their forthcoming album, ‘The Coast’, released on 29 Nov via Playground Music.

Inspired their moniker’s birthplace in the Towards forest, the track focuses on “details soft thought before action” and how ruminating is not always the right thing to do. Sometimes it’s simply better to just go with the flow.

Listen here.

Sounds like: Paul Simon, Ásgeir, Band Of Horses, Bon Iver, Nick Mulvey, Midlake

Saturday, Monday – Pilgrim (Ft. Brolin)

Swedish producer Saturday, Monday has once more teamed up with London producer, Brolin.

The video for ‘Pilgrim’ tackles the heartbreaking and difficult subject of immigration through the lens of a 17 year old boy travelling to Sweden alone. Altering between close-ups of the protagonist and the stereotypical beautiful countryside of Sweden that refugees dream about when they begin their extremely dangerous escape from war zones, there is another conflict at work: the perception of refugees from the general public.

Saturday, Monday’s ‘SUPERSET’ EP is out now on Playground Music. Buy here.

Sounds like: Rainer, H A R T E B E E S T, Kaleida, Ji Nilsson
