Biography
First release out for Holy Strays and its a hell of a tape on the always
reliable Not Not Fun label, plus just one more reason that the French
underground is becoming necessary to watch. Android drumbeats nestle
under a humid cloud of synth pop squeezed with the rapid heart of 80's
soundtrack funk. Then, just as the pulse quickens the release seems to
melt into a dystopian murk of beleaguered action sequence fallout; the
kind that show the inner workings of a protagonist in exposition of
their discomfortingly sad home life as a stark contrast to the rest of
the film's hedonistic wrath. It would seem that Holy Strays use the Paul
Verhoven action catalog as their template or at the very least their
divining force, before dousing it in the flames of a post-millennial
synth syrup. A well conceived first effort that begs what the band might
delve into next. - Raven Sings the Blues
