Holy Sons is Emil Amos, a musician whose chameleonic tendencies and technical versatility has lead to him becoming an in demand multi- instrumentalist as a founding member of Grails and Lilacs & Champagne, as well as a member of Om and a hired gun for Jandek, to name a few. Holy Sons is at the centre of his many musical personalities and is his longest standing project, acting as an outlet for some of his most personal and direct songs. In Holy Sons, Amos puts his restless imagination to work using a variety of inventive home recording methods to turn melodic slow- burners into multi-layered, atmospheric missives. While his methods and prolificacy provide a kinship with Sebadoh, Ariel Pink and other musicians who have offered countless transmissions from their bedroom floor, Holy Sons comes from the mind of someone who has internalized the minutia of 70s rock music and eschews the stereotypical lo- fi sound for a much deeper and more varied palate. ‘The Fact Facer’, his Thrill Jockey debut, bathes Amos’ thoughtful and even at times philosophical, songs in Technicolor darkness and reinforces Holy Sons as his musical centrepiece. The album is a collection of home recorded atmospheric slow-burners steeped in 70s rock with an experimentalist edge. The songs on ‘The Fact Facer’ creep up on the listener, their fiercely addictive melodies unravelling slowly and purposefully. Jumping smoothly between many facets of Amos’ songwriting, the album does much to establish him as a talented multi-instrumentalist. From the lysergic leads of ‘Selfish Thoughts’ to the Danny Kirwan referencing solos of ‘Transparent Powers’ and the skilful acoustic flourishes of ‘The Fact Facer’, Amos proves himself as adept and creative a guitarist as he is a drummer. It is telling that Amos has built up two Holy Sons bands simultaneously: one based in Portland and one based in New York. Wherever the wind takes him, there are musicians willing to pick up their instruments and follow his lead. “The most admirable thing about Amos’s songwriting is his willingness to leave empty space in his songs, even though multiple tracks of vocals and instruments go into each composition” – Pop Matters “‘The Fact Facer’ is easily Amos’ most focused offering yet, and a perfect entry point into a back catalogue that’s sure to have listeners drinking the Kool-Aid again and again.” – Exclaim Artist Holy Sons Genre Rock And Pop Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Doomed Myself Line Me Back Up Transparent Powers Selfish Thoughts All Too Free Wax Gets In Your Eyes Life Could Be A Dream Long Days No Self Respect Back Down To The Tombs The Fact Facer Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Holy Sons and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Holy Sons Raw and Disfigured Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 30th October 2020 £29.00 - £31.00 Select options Holy Sons Raw and Disfigured £29.00 - £31.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th October 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Holy Sons Fall Of Man Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 13th November 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holy Sons Fall Of Man £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL397LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Foxx And The Maths The Machine Rock And Pop | Metamatic Records | 1LP Released 22nd September 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Foxx And The Maths The Machine £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Metamatic Records SKU: META62LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Scott Walker Scott Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 18th October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Scott Walker Scott £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 3728846 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Monkees, The Good Times!
