Rock duo Holy Holy push electronic boundaries on lockdown album

Australian indie rock duo Holy Holy are set to bring their electric sounds to the South West later this year as part of a national tour. The band will play in both Margaret River and Bunbury as they tour their new album, Hello My Beautiful World. The South West shows are on back-to-back nights in November, with the band heading to The River in Margaret River on Saturday, November 6, and Bunbury’s Prince of Wales Hotel the following night. The duo consists of Oscar Dawson and Tim Carroll, who share songwriting and singing duties. Their latest album, the band’s third full release, was put together mostly during lockdowns and recorded sporadically in makeshift studios across the country. Carroll said their experience writing and producing during lockdown was reflected in the lyrics of their track The Aftergone, which features CLEWS and The Presets’ Kim Moyes. “The future has been feeling particularly uncertain lately,” he said. “The world we thought we knew is not there anymore and this song is an acknowledgement of what that feels like. “Working with Kim was fun and I’ve always loved the Presets. “We wanted to push this song into electronic territory and he was the right person to go to for that.” Western Australia is the first leg of the tour, with a Perth show to open before the two South West gigs and shows across Victoria, Canberra, Queensland, South Australia and finally Tasmania. The duo will be joined by Hayley Mary and Queen P for the tour. Mary released her debut solo album last year, having been the lead singer of Aussie band The Jezabels since 2007. Queen P is a Melbourne-based rapper and Triple J Unearthed artist who came on to the scene midway through 2017 and has previously worked with Holy Holy on their 2020 single Port Rd.
