"It has been years since Holy Fuck's last album, 2020's Deleter. In that time, the Canadian quartet -- Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt 'Punchy' McQuaid, and Matt Schulz -- spent two years apart, only to finally reconvene in a remote village hall in rural Nova Scotia in March 2022. What began as a simple reunion and rehearsal session soon flowed into new song ideas, becoming the starting point for their album Event Beat. At a time when music is increasingly AI-generated, Holy Fuck are more relevant than ever. They've built their reputation on forging electronic music with a profound human touch, keeping every element as live as possible, and favoring ragged energy and improvisation over staid, cold perfection. This is music where intuition and 'muscle memory' create an almost telepathic link between the four musicians. The unexpected circumstances of the recording sessions profoundly shaped the album. Faced with a storm that knocked out power (forcing the use of a generator) and a neighbor who objected to the volume, the band was challenged to make their signature sound while being as quiet as possible. This limitation unexpectedly resulted in 'low-key ambient things' and 'pastoral, vibey soundscapes.' However, hitting play on Event Beat reveals they brilliantly circumvented the idea of a purely ambient record. The album also comes in the wake of two major placements that led to an unexpected rediscovery: their track 'Tom Tom' was featured in the Amazon Prime Video hit animated series Invincible. Furthermore, 'Lost Cool' resurfaced in the Academy Award-winning body horror The Substance. With the sheer vibrancy of Event Beat and their conviction to keep going regardless of trends, Holy Fuck remain as relevant as ever. This album is a testament to the 'togetherness and the humanity in the music.'"

Holy Fuck have announced new album Deleter, previewed with the video for acclaimed latest single "Luxe" featuring Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor. Arriving at a moment where attention spans are shot and anxieties are going into overdrive, Deleter, Canadian band Holy Fuck's fifth studio album, is a defiantly full-bodied affair. Polyrhythmic and pleasure-focused, Deleter sees Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt Schulz, and Matt "Punchy" McQuaid utilizes their signature sound -- seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house's dreamy ineffability, expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz and tang they are renowned for. From the thrusting minimalism of opener "Luxe" through to the triumphant chug of closing track "Ruby", via club-ready rollocker "Free Gloss" and the cosmic clatter of "San Sebastian", Deleter is a record that joins the Holy Fuck dots within their widescreen, technicolor, crescendo-heavy sound. Also features Angus Andrew and Nicholas Allbrook.
