Our Take

Ah, HOLY SONS, the masters of the not-so-holy musical landscape. Raw And Disfigured is the latest offering from Emil Amos, the man behind the curtain of this enigmatic project. With a sound that can only be described as a twisted blend of lo-fi psychedelia and experimental folk, HOLY SONS have created an album that is as raw and disfigured as the title suggests.

From the opening track, it is clear that this is not going to be your average musical journey. The haunting vocals, fuzzy guitars, and hypnotic rhythms take the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions, from melancholy to euphoria in a matter of minutes.

Amos's songwriting is both brilliant and bizarre, with lyrics that are equal parts cryptic and captivating. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with layers of distorted guitars, pulsating synths, and ghostly melodies that create a sonic landscape that is both eerie and enchanting.

Overall, Raw And Disfigured is a mesmerising album that demands your attention from start to finish. HOLY SONS have once again proven that they are true musical innovators, pushing the boundaries of genre and sound in ways that only they can. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and let the weird and wonderful world of HOLY SONS take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Holy Sons

Holy Sons, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Emil Amos, is a one-man band that defies easy categorization. With a back catalogue spanning over two decades, Amos has amassed a cult following for his introspective and experimental take on folk, rock, and psychedelia. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Holy Sons first emerged in the late ‘90s, drawing comparisons to the lo-fi pioneers of the time like Sebadoh and Silver Jews. However, Amos quickly proved he was no mere imitator, incorporating elements of drone, ambient, and even electronic music into his sonic palette. Known for his enigmatic persona and penchant for cryptic lyrics, Amos has cultivated an air of mystery around Holy Sons, leaving fans and critics alike guessing about the meaning behind his songs. But one thing is for sure: his music is mesmerising, leaving listeners captivated by its raw emotion and evocative soundscapes. While Holy Sons may not have achieved mainstream success, Amos’s influence can be heard in the work of artists ranging from Kurt Vile to Sun Kil Moon. With every release, he continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in music, creating a body of work that is as challenging as it is rewarding. In a world where cookie-cutter pop dominates the airwaves, Holy Sons stands as a beacon of creativity and originality. So, if you’re looking for music that will make you think, feel, and maybe even question the universe, look no further than Holy Sons. Emil Amos may be a man of few words, but his music speaks volumes.
