Review Text
Holy Fuck have announced new album Deleter, previewed with the video for acclaimed latest single "Luxe" featuring Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor. Arriving at a moment where attention spans are shot and anxieties are going into overdrive, Deleter, Canadian band Holy Fuck's fifth studio album, is a defiantly full-bodied affair. Polyrhythmic and pleasure-focused, Deleter sees Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt Schulz, and Matt "Punchy" McQuaid utilizes their signature sound - seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house's dreamy ineffability, expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz and tang they are renowned for. From the thrusting minimalism of opener "Luxe" through to the triumphant chug of closing track "Ruby", via club-ready rollocker "Free Gloss" and the cosmic clatter of "San Sebastian", Deleter is a record that joins the Holy Fuck dots within their widescreen, technicolor, crescendo-heavy sound. Also features Angus Andrew and Nicholas Allbrook.
