Holy Balm- It's You (CD)
Last year's LA Vampires club-cruise across Australia unearthed a multitude of uplifting experiences (Cairns hippie aerialists, Newcastle hardcore, Melbourne acid sangria, etc.), but chief among them was the live actualization of Sydney post-power-trio Holy Balm, who slyly gene-splice strands of mutant new wave, freeform house, digital trashcan tribalism and minimalist pop into something playful, primitive and splatter paint-party perfect. After a few micro-edition split tapes and a single 7-inch, the band enlisted the help of Jon Hunter at Magnetic Recording Council Studios to record and mix their debut full-length, resulting in the whacked-out hyper-color majesty of It's You. Comprised of live classics ("Take It," "Holy Balm Theme," "Town Called Hope") as well as some wild, extended studio experiments ("Phone Song," "One & Only"), plus a "Y Pants" cover, the album captures Holy Balm's wobbly electronic Freak-Funk and paradise garage grooves gloriously. September finds them embarking on their first ever US tour / voyage so now's the time to 'Balm up.
