Despite being perpetually too poor to drink dusted
dive-bar drafts, Stockholm's Holograms still manage to projectile vomit their
fare share of poison. Their regurgitations originate more from the nausea
inherent with menial labor in the desolate warehouses of Sweden than alcohol
abuse; ultimately making it more enjoyable to sift through.
In defiance of their decrepit instruments (a collective
estimated worth of a handful of Kronas) Holograms emit a seemingly impossible
energy. Their sound synthesizes the drudgery of dismal existence with a lust
for something better; echoing both the violent abandonment of punk as well as
some of the electronic gloss of early 80s new wave. Their sound has proven
far too large for Stockholm's charred pavement and empty streets; leading us
to think it's about time for all of us to get a little drunker together.
Holograms' self-titled debut is set to arrive on July
10th; check out new single "Chasing My Mind" below now.
