Infest 25 – Spotlight On – Holy Braille

HOLY BRAILLE is a Darkwave soundtrack to Holy life. Full of emotional turmoil, stark, dark and goth!

All tracks are random in electronic sounds and conquer whatever synths are at hand at the time of creation.

They have gigged with the infamous Sidewalks & Skeletons, Danse Society, Starsha Lee and Oddkin (Ezra Miller) band.

We just knew we wanted to do something dark and electronic.

The following is an excerpt from an interview in NARC Magazine by Mark Corcoran-Lettice, 2019.

Formed by Steph Mac (also of glam rockers PussyWillowFurryVenus) and Elliot Reeves (no stranger to dark electronica with Mausoleums and Indigo Vertebrae), Holy Braille’s sound is an incessant, turned-up-to-eleven take on synth pop, one that offers a nod of the head to its progenitors but also ploughs a determinedly contemporary soundscape.

“We initially started this project just to see what would happen, what merging our individual styles would sound like, “ Mac explains. “Originally, we thought there would be a difference, both liking and listening to different music, in some cases music we had never heard of. We just knew we wanted to do something dark and electronic.”

Describing their working process, Mac notes the importance of keeping things homespun and centred around their strength as a writing duo. “We both compose the music, the belly of Holy. Steph is the lyricist, maker of melodies. Elliot is the technical beast, mixing, making everything fit, sound good. It’s all done in our DIY home studio, it’s a combination of recording vocals and music as we go, then adding harmonies and dirty undertones electronically: the devil is in the detail.”

we can guarantee you dark noise and a truly electronic experience, with the possible side-effect of being freaked out!
