The group’s latest material signals a new phase in their development and arrives alongside news of their biggest UK headline tour to date, including a date at London’s Moth Club lined up this April, which follows their debut trip stateside for SXSW. Lead single ‘Sublime Disconnect’ is a perfect distillation of the sound Holiday Ghosts have perfected over their career. Co-vocalist Kat Rackin’s driving drumming style and staccato vocal delivery propels a rousing guitar melody and breakneck bassline, until a catchy chorus of ‘ba ba bas’ erupts over the entire endeavour. However, beneath the buoyant demeanour belies a deeper lyrical meaning. “I’m Iranian, my parents were both born there and moved to Sweden after the Iranian revolution in the 80s,” explains Kat. “I was born in Malmö and moved to England when I was eight. I grew up as a child with little attachment to Iran as I tried my hardest to blend in with the people around me, but the older I got the more different I felt the more blurred my sense of self got.” ‘Sublime Disconnect’’s lyrics speak to this dissonance of identity, with lines like: “And now they ask who am I and where am I from / Will I find peace when I belong?” “In hindsight I can pinpoint a few incidents of racism that planted this seed that I didn’t-fully belong here, that Sweden or England, weren’t really my home,” says Kat, “nor is Iran as I have never been there as my parents aren’t allowed back. The song is partly putting this question out there: what does it mean to belong?” ‘Sublime Disconnect’ can be seen at the album’s political crux, the track anchors the band’s activist identity. “I think this question of belonging is kind of rhetorical though, because I don’t think there is peace for anyone except for those that make the rules,” says Kat. “I think living under governments where the immigration policies are getting more and more dystopian has also hugely contributed to this song and the notion of belonging. The line: ‘Does your future burn bright? And what about me? A free pass, favour, till I’m back on my feet,’ is a reference to privilege versus having to start from scratch, about the obliviousness that some people have towards the struggle of others.” Artist Holiday Ghosts Genre Rock And Pop Label Fat Cat Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Western Daylight Big Congratulations Dead Streets Energy Sublime Disconnect Coat Of Arms Tired Eyes Today’s Headlines I’m Still Here Shoot For Peace Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Holiday Ghosts and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Holiday Ghosts Absolute Reality Rock And Pop | Fat Cat | 1LP Released 21st April 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holiday Ghosts Absolute Reality £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Cat SKU: FATLP176 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Holiday Ghosts North Street Air Rock And Pop | Fat Cat | 1LP Released 21st May 2021 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holiday Ghosts North Street Air £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Cat SKU: FATLP162 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View James Blake The Colour In Anything Rock And Pop | Polydor | 1LP Released 30th August 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders James Blake The Colour In Anything £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 4793333 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Menswear Big In Japan – The 7” Singles Rock And Pop | Demon | 7", Box Set Released 8th October 2021 £74.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Menswear Big In Japan – The 7” Singles £74.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Demon SKU: DEMRECBOX65 Formats: 7", Box Set Released Date: 8th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins Rabbit Fur Coat Rock And Pop | Rough Trade | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 14th January 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins Rabbit Fur Coat £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rough Trade SKU: RT0246LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 14th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mazes A Thousand Heys Rock And Pop | Fat Cat | 1LP Released 7th April 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mazes A Thousand Heys £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Cat SKU: FATLP103 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lightning Seeds, The See You In The Stars Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th October 2022 £25.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Lightning Seeds, The See You In The Stars £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th October 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options View Product Quick View Christian Lee Hutson Beginners Folk | Epitaph | 1LP Released 29th May 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Christian Lee Hutson Beginners £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Epitaph SKU: 277641 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Robin Trower Twice Removed From Yesterday Blues | Chrysalis | 1LP Released 5th April 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Robin Trower Twice Removed From Yesterday £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Chrysalis SKU: nn283964 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Police, The Ghost In The Machine (Picture Disc) Rock And Pop | Polydor | 1LP, Picture Disc Released 4th November 2022 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Police, The Ghost In The Machine (Picture Disc) £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 4573248 Formats: 1LP, Picture Disc Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hold Steady, The Stay Positive: Deluxe Edition 3LP (10th Anniversary Reissue) Rock And Pop | BMG Records | 180g, 3LP, 45rpm Released 13th February 2019 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hold Steady, The Stay Positive: Deluxe Edition 3LP (10th Anniversary Reissue) £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538442052 Formats: 180g, 3LP, 45rpm Released Date: 13th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave McCabe & The Ramifications Church Of Miami Rock And Pop | 1965 Records Limited | 1LP, Includes CD Released 4th September 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave McCabe & The Ramifications Church Of Miami £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 1965 Records Limited SKU: OLIVE1006VX Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 4th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
