Holice

Sarah and Stephen from HOLICEAs the quest for nostalgia marches on and we immerse ourselves in the retro sounds of Chairlift, Delphic and La Roux I do sometimes wonder when the zeitgesit of the late 80s is going to come into view.

Well it seems that new electronic band Holice are intentionally or unintentionally attempting to capture just that, and I for one am glad. With pads, long keyboard chords, strict beats and heart troubling bass their latest single “Tokyo Boy” leaves a flavour in your mouth that, much like a Starburst, makes you want more.

Sarah’s voice compliments the emotive synths and under pinning pads and it sounds like they had a great time recording this single. I’ve had the promo copy in the car for a week and my son loves it and insists I play it over and over and he’s only four so perhaps Holice are set to have a nice wide audience – as long as they play it properly. He does call it the “Pinocchio song” though. He’s just not dedicated enough :)

“Tokyo Boy” is perfect radio fodder and plain and simple pop music. Don’t look for anything deeper than what you hear and enjoy it for what it is.

It’s available via all the usual routes like iTunes, Napster and Spotify but also free from their website www.holice.co.uk until 31st Jan.

    I will recommend not to hold back until you get enough money to order different goods! You should take the lowest-rate-loans.com or short term loan and feel yourself free
