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 Ben Howard What A Day / Crowhurst’s Meme Rock And Pop | Island | 7", Single Released 12th February 2021 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Howard What A Day / Crowhurst’s Meme £9.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 0746665 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 12th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Editors In This Light And On This Evening Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP Released 10th August 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Editors In This Light And On This Evening £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR185LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Molly Burch Romantic Images Rock And Pop | Captured | 1LP Released 7th February 2024 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Molly Burch Romantic Images £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured SKU: nn280471 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th February 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mike + The Mechanics The Living Years (30th Anniversary Edition) Rock And Pop | BMG Records | Box Set Released 30th November 2018 £61.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mike + The Mechanics The Living Years (30th Anniversary Edition) £61.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538412079 Formats: Box Set Released Date: 30th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Bob Dylan Planet Waves Rock And Pop | CBS | 1LP Released 15th April 2024 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bob Dylan Planet Waves £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: CBS SKU: nn284592 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Richard Ashcroft These People Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th June 2024 £33.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Richard Ashcroft These People £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: RPALP001X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hello Forever Whatever It Is Rock And Pop | Rough Trade | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released 2nd October 2020 £19.00 - £23.00 Select options Hello Forever Whatever It Is £19.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rough Trade Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released Date: 2nd October 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Whipping Boy Heartworm Rock And Pop | Needle Mythology | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd September 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Whipping Boy Heartworm £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Needle Mythology SKU: NEMYLP009 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Millionaire Sciencing Rock And Pop | Unday Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th May 2017 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Millionaire Sciencing £31.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Unday Records SKU: UNDAY063LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Do Make Say Think Do Make Say Think Rock And Pop | Constellation | 180g, 2LP Released 21st October 2013 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Do Make Say Think Do Make Say Think £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Constellation SKU: CST005LP Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 21st October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
