Holy Motors

There is a clear Americana influence in Holy Motors' music, but the band members are from Tallinn, Estonia. It's an absurdity that gives them a lot of charm. The critically acclaimed debut album, Slow Sundown, established Holy Motors as a group of post-Soviet cowgirls and cowboys, playing music that "sounds like the Wild West" (Fader). The initial shared fascination with the American West has over time evolved into a sincere personification of its dreamy and melancholic aura, both in the musical layer and in the stage identity of the band members. Holy Motors' latest album, Horses, confirms the band's relationship with americana and rockabilly, clearly marked in their musical DNA, without dissipating the mystical aura of their sound, which escapes simple categorisation in the genres of shoegaze and dream-pop. The hypnotic power of their music and their ability to write songs that deeply resonate with a sense of isolation allows them to strike a chord with a wide variety of listeners - from loyal fanatics of western psychedelia to dreamy cowboys speeding through the starlit wilderness.
