The Holydrug Couple Share A Hazy Delight

September 6, 2018 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

The Holydrug Couple are on their way to releasing a new album on Sacred Bones Records, and today we’re graced with another lovely single from Hyper Super Mega. This new number, “Forever End” is a sweeping psych number–lush synths and a groovy bass line hold your hand throughout. The vocals are high pitched and chime in like another line of synth, creating a whirlwind of hazy sounds that all spiral into a hypnotizing sound towards the end of the song. Safe to say we’re pretty excited for the release ofHyper Super Megaon September 14–preorder here.

New Music from The Holydrug Couple

July 25, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to turn your head from The Holydrug Couple. Their last album, Mourn (2015), showed some steps in a more pop-centric direction…and it looks like Hyper Super Mega is going to take an even larger step forward. This single below is perhaps one of the band’s most accessible tunes; it offers a soul-inflected vocal crawl, while harkening to some of the pop-collage work the Flaming Lips did around the Yoshimi-era. It’s just weird enough to make turn those cool kids on, but it has this pop sensibility that supersedes any essence of cool. Look for the new LP to drop on September 14th via Sacred Bones Records.

Dreamy New Tune from The Holydrug Couple

You get caught up in avoiding certain genres, especially when you even admit to overusing them (psych meet my friend garage). But, put all that aside and just turn up this wonderful track from The Holydrug Couple, who despite pass allegiance to certain genres, look set to bring you an incredible album full of pop songs. These pop songs might be hiding under the guise of atmospheric wash, yet the Chilean band has a crooning hit on their hands; it might just be one of my favorite tracks of the year so far. Look for their new LP Moonlust to hit on May 12th via Sacred Bones Records.

Holydrug Couple Shares RSD Hit

April 19, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We’re winding down our day at the ATH offices, which means it’s time for me to start getting ready to hit up Record Store Day. I hope all you folks are planning on shopping at your local record store tomorrow; I’m planning on hitting up all three of our Austin stores. One of the things I’ll be looking to pick up is the 3rd Annual Sacred Bones compilation, which will feature this track from Holydrug Couple, a band from Chile. RayRay and I are always down to support our Latin American bretheren, especially when they craft careful beauties like this one. Signing out for the day…don’t forget to buy local tomorrow
