    Holy Balm :: The Endless Dancefloor

    ...15.12.09

    So there’s a pretty terrific feature up by Eliza Sarlos in the latest issue of Cyclic Defrost – interviewing local “tonaldronepsychbeatjam” outfit Holy Balm. The band were one whose name I’d heard splashed around but never seen until that seminal gig which Sarlos references, at This Is Not Art this year. The band’s MySpace is here, but it really is incomparable to the expansive aural ideas as they pan out live:

    “I think a really big part of it is that it is the three of us, and we’re in a space together, and we’re playing and feeding off each other… I think we play things differently every time, and I think that’s got a lot to do with a mood or a space.”

    Full article here, but the entire issue is worth an wholehearted peruse – interviews with Sunn O))), Ghoul, Alps, Seaworthy and other no-doubt revered elements of the electronica-experimental music world, whose names are unfortunately too sub-ground for me to recognise (let alone drop.)

    Ahhh Cyclic… Forever highlighting the paltriness of my accrued cultural capital, yet somehow I still love you.
