Holy Wave have released their new full-length, i’m DADA, via Suicide Squeeze Records. The record pushes into breezy, artful terrain, perfectly tailored for summer contemplation; the band will host a Bandcamp listening party on July 8th at 12pm PST/ 8pm BST, which you can RSVP for here.
Today, they share the title track as a final single. Kyle Hager ponders parenthood and autonomy over an angular, fuzzy instrumental; Lorena Quintanilla and Alberto González of Lorelle Meets the Obsolete and J. Zunz contribute synthesize arpeggios and feedback guitars. It is thoughtful propulsion.
On the single, Holy Wave’s Kyle Hager shares: “’i’m DADA’ is a song about balance. I have two amazing children that I strive to spend all my time with. Watching and helping them grow is my life’s greatest work. It’s easy for me to feel guilty when the need to focus on myself and my creative endeavors takes over. To be a good parent, I believe one should continue to follow their passions as a form of self-care and a source of balance. In this song, I vent about the pressures of being in demand as a parent and also try to forgive myself for wanting to be more than just ‘DADA.'”
