Holy Monitor is a psychedelic rock quintet whose sound incorporates elements of krautrock, space rock and ambient music. The band's reverb soaked vocals crawl beneath waves of pulsating minimal rhythms, while fuzz driven guitars and proggy keys create a hypnotic sonic ambience.

Athens' quintet, Holy Monitor will release their eagerly awaited third album “Southern Lights” on

26 February 2021 on Blackspin/Primitive Music, an astonishing and affecting follow up to their

2020 critically acclaimed EP release, “This Desert Land”.

Thirty-nine minutes long, “Southern Lights” LP offers eight songs that are overflowing with

celestial melodies, encircled by psychedelic warmth. With lyrical themes inspired by Aristotle's

cosmology the band invite us into a dreamy journey in fizzing waterfall keys plunging down from

space rock guitars.

The album is opening with the “River” slowly building up into a powerful, repetitive groove

backbeat swirling within through proggie keys and gentle tender vocals.

\"Naked in the Rain\" is tripping from the Bacchanalian frenzied rites. Holy Monitor's wild,

intoxicating psychedelic groove vibes take the listeners into a hedonistic, mad dance to exorcise

the rain and revolt against reality.

“Blue Whale” is floating under a lysergic tinged pop effort filled with warm and comforting reverb

drenched guitars. “The Sky is Falling Down” is charged with swirling bass lines trapped in a

cyclonic whirlwind of fuzzed-out guitar riffs.

Holy Monitor’s third full-length release is painted with luscious soundscapes with a healing

utopian feeling of connecting with unspoiled Nature.

The album was recorded live at Suono Studio and mixed up by Alex Bolbasis.
