Our Take

In a musical landscape often cluttered with overproduced, shiny pop gems, HOLY SONS’ latest offering, "Raw And Disfigured," is a gritty, raw, and unapologetically disheveled masterpiece that dares to be different.

From the moment the haunting opening track lulls you into its melancholic embrace, you know you're in for a wild ride. The distorted guitars, swirling synths, and haunting vocals create a cacophony of sound that is both beautiful and unsettling.

Lead singer and mastermind Emil Amos guides you through a sonic journey that is equal parts therapeutic and disorienting. Each track feels like a private confessional, with lyrics that cut deep and melodies that linger long after the music has stopped.

Tracks like "Slow Motion Crash" and "Cursed From The Caverns" showcase Amos' songwriting prowess, with their infectious hooks and introspective lyrics. This album is a testament to the power of vulnerability in music, with HOLY SONS laying bare their emotions for all to see.

"Raw And Disfigured" is not for the faint of heart. It's a challenging listen that demands your full attention, but the payoff is well worth it. HOLY SONS have crafted an album that is as strange and compelling as it is beautiful. Give it a listen, and prepare to be changed forever.

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.
