“Austin five-piece Holy Wave is certainly dreamy in a sense, but theirs is the kind of dream that’s more vivid than blurry, more present than passing. On their third studio album, Freaks Of Nurture, the band combines elements of psych, Nuggets-era garage pop, and surf rock before slathering the whole package in the requisite coat of reverb. It’s the kind of dream that would be easy to get lost in, but there’s always a warm guitar riff to guide you out of your reverie, like a ray of sunlight shining on closed eyelids.”

“Holy Wave is an Austin-based five-piece that has been churning blissful psychedelic pop and garage rock since 2012. From buzzing, lo-fi guitar riffing to spacious, delicate keyboard, they’ve certainly explored a wide spectrum of sounds.”
