Oh, what a Holy schmozzle of a track this is. Here we are, nicely floating along to some Scandi ambience of a psych persuasion for two minutes, then blow me down, faster than you can say 'IKEA', it all goes stark bollocking brilliantly garage-punk mad for the final 60 seconds.
'Lights' is taken from Swedish newcomers HOLY's debut album, 'Stabs'. The project of one Hannes Ferm, it follows last year's opener EP 'Silver Of Your Heart'. Tripping out on a lo-fi start with reverberant melody and heady vocals with a tenacious “ooh la la, ooh la la” refrain, 'Lights' then changes direction so sharply on the crazy end section that you would be forgiven for thinking it was another song entirely.
Simply underbar, as they say in Swedish.
'Stabs' is out on March 11 thru PNKSLM Recordings/Ny Våg Records.
