Interview: Holy Wave
Originally formed in El Paso, Texas, Holy Wave carefully combines fluid forms of sacred surf sounds, droning riffs, and group vocals that haunt and harmonize in equal measure. Some time ago, the band moved to Austin and are releasing their 3rd studio LP, Freaks of Nature, today.
They were kind enough to send me an advance copy and I loved every moment of it. I got a chance to catch up with the band and ask them a few questions about their musical influences and what they miss most about El Paso. Read through their answers and pick up a copy of the album today.
Holy Wave: Pink Floyd, The Cranberries, At the Drive In, Nirvana, R.E.M.
