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 Various Artists Woodstock Three Rock And Pop | Rhino | 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th July 2019 £50.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Woodstock Three £50.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227911089 Formats: 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laura Veirs Carbon Glacier Rock And Pop | Raven Marching Band Records | 1LP Released 14th October 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laura Veirs Carbon Glacier £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Raven Marching Band Records SKU: LPRMB011 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Unknown Mortal Orchestra Unknown Mortal Orchestra Rock And Pop | Fat Possum | 1LP Released 21st September 2018 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Unknown Mortal Orchestra Unknown Mortal Orchestra £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP12501 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aliens, The Back To Beyond Rock And Pop | ACIO Rekkudz | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 5th March 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aliens, The Back To Beyond £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: ACIO Rekkudz SKU: ACIO003 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 5th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Soft Cavalry, The The Soft Cavalry Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 5th July 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soft Cavalry, The The Soft Cavalry £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA914V Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Flaming Lips, The The Soft Bulletin (Companion Disc) Rock And Pop | Warner Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th June 2021 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Flaming Lips, The The Soft Bulletin (Companion Disc) £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Records SKU: 93624885016 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th June 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Vince Martin & Fred Neil Tear Down The Walls Folk | Sundazed | 1LP Released 17th November 2022 £16.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Vince Martin & Fred Neil Tear Down The Walls £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Sundazed SKU: nn253540 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Queen Queen II Rock And Pop | Virgin Records | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd September 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Queen Queen II £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Records SKU: 4728824 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marden Hill Blown Away Rock And Pop | Acid Jazz | 1LP Released 4th August 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marden Hill Blown Away £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Acid Jazz SKU: AJXLP655 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Twilight Sad, The The Wrong Car Rock And Pop | Fat Cat | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 18th February 2022 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Twilight Sad, The The Wrong Car £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Cat SKU: 12FAT079 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
