Our Take
Our Take
HOLY SONS' latest offering, Raw And Disfigured, is like taking a psychedelic trip through a haunted house of memories. Coloured vinyl? More like a technicolour nightmare that will leave you questioning your own existence.
Jason Molina, the mastermind behind HOLY SONS, has crafted an album that defies categorisation. Is it folk? Is it rock? Is it experimental noise? Who knows, and frankly, who cares? The only thing that's certain is that Raw And Disfigured is a sonic rollercoaster that will leave you disoriented and begging for more.
From the eerie melodies of "Slow Days" to the pulsating rhythms of "Hand That Feeds", HOLY SONS takes you on a journey through the darkest corners of Molina's mind. The swirling guitars and haunting vocals create an atmosphere that is both hypnotic and unsettling, like being trapped in a fever dream that you never want to end.
But don't let the title deceive you - Raw And Disfigured is not just a collection of twisted sounds and distorted vocals. There is a raw beauty in Molina's songwriting that shines through the chaos, a fragile vulnerability that is both heartbreaking and uplifting.
In conclusion, HOLY SONS' Raw And Disfigured is a haunting masterpiece that will leave you questioning your own sanity. It's a must-listen for anyone who enjoys music that pushes boundaries and challenges expectations. Just make sure you're prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that awaits.

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.
