Holy Fuck's 'Event Beat' is a explosion of human-made electronic music. Experience the dance floor euphoria on this limited Red Vinyl edition.

It has been six years since Holy Fuck's last album, 2020's 'Deleter'. In that time, the Canadian quartet--Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt 'Punchy' McQuaid, and Matt Schulz--spent two years apart, only to finally reconvene in a remote village hall in rural Nova Scotia in March 2022. What began as a simple reunion and rehearsal session soon flowed into new song ideas, becoming the starting point for their upcoming album, 'Event Beat



At a time when music is increasingly AI-generated, Holy Fuck are more relevant than ever. They've built their reputation on forging electronic music with a profound human touch, keeping every element as live as possible, and favoring ragged energy and improvisation over staid, cold perfection. This is music where intuition and 'muscle memory' create an almost telepathic link between the four musicians.



The unexpected circumstances of the recording sessions profoundly shaped the album. Faced with a storm that knocked out power (forcing the use of a generator) and a neighbour who objected to the volume, the band was challenged to make their signature sound while being as quiet as possible. This limitation unexpectedly resulted in 'low-key ambient things' and 'pastoral, vibey soundscapes'. However, hitting play on 'Event Beat' reveals they brilliantly circumvented the idea of a purely ambient record.



The album also comes in the wake of two major placements that led to an unexpected rediscovery: their track 'Tom Tom' was featured in the Amazon Prime Video hit animated series 'Invincible'. Furthermore, 'Lost Cool' resurfaced in the Academy Award-winning body horror 'The Substance'



With the sheer vibrancy of 'Event Beat' and their conviction to keep going regardless of trends, Holy Fuck remain as relevant as ever. This album is a testament to the 'togetherness and the humanity in the music'.
