“The high-energy cut oscillates between woozy, smouldering verses and big anthemic refrains.” – NME
“… an immersive, surging cut unlike anything else in the Holy Holy back catalogue.” – MIXDOWN

Following sold-out performances in Melbourne and Sydney, and with more sold-out shows in Brisbane next week, today Holy Holy releases How You Been via Wonderlick Recordings. This grandiose and compelling new single sets yet another benchmark for the band.
How You Been incorporates pop influences alongside a foundation of synth, programmed drums and percussion. Tim Carroll and Oscar Dawson lean into their natural talents as storytellers, exploring life’s complexities through the lens of a broken heart.
“It has a lot of the hallmarks of what we do,” Tim says. “At the core of it, it’s a classic Holy Holy song in the sense that there’s real storytelling. A character based, lyrical theme plays out,” says frontman Tim Carroll.
“Then there’s Oscar’s emotive chord progressions that subtly influence the way you feel. They feed into the lyrics. You don’t realise why, but you’re listening to the song and certain emotions come up,” he adds.
The single follows on from the urgent and ambitious Port Rd feat. Queen P, who has joined Holy Holy on their east coast tour. With How You Been having existed solely in its studio form until this point, Holy Holy are excited to bring their latest effort to the live realm. Both Oscar and Tim offer up a sly clue or two of what lies ahead.
“There’s a whole bunch more work that we’ve done. I’m really excited about it. We’re pushing the band in a more kinetic direction” Tim explains. “I’m looking forward to people hearing it.”
“We’ve been able to get together in the studio a couple of times since last year’s lockdowns, and that’s proven to us how important our interactions are. We’re making a record that can translate into a live show. It’ll make people dance.” Oscar adds.
“Part of this record is about that experience – being isolated from one another – but also, as things open up through 2021, it’ll be a celebration of coming back together. Being able to move together. As the world opens up we’re looking forward to being a part of that.”

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
