“Austin five-piece Holy Wave is certainly dreamy in a sense, but theirs is the kind of dream that’s more vivid than blurry, more present than passing.” — Consequence of Sound

“They’ve got the distant, dreamy vocal wash of the shoegazers, but their guitars and hooks are anything but subtle” – Pitchfork

Early in their seventeen-year career, Holy Wave embraced a tranquil realm of psychedelia, eschewing long-form jams and guitar heroics in favor of a dreamy, pop-oriented approach. As the band evolved, their early “Sgt. Pepper’s Meets the Velvets” sound gave way to more sophisticated melodies and trippy instrumentation, effectively steering their music away from sun-bleached nostalgia toward a color-saturated dimension where sounds of the past, present, and future intermingled.

Holy Wave will release its sixth LP, titled “i’m DADA,” on July 10, 2026, via Suicide Squeeze Records.
