SUMMARY:Holy Wave\, Queen Serene\, San Diego Freak Out DJs
LOCATION:Soda Bar
DESCRIPTION:21+ event w/ valid ID at Soda Bar - San Diego.\n\nIn Ensenada\,
  Mexico\, where the Pacific horizon cuts a clean\, unwavering line\, Holy 
 Wave recorded their latest full-length\, i’m DADA\, a record that feels 
 both expansive and newly concentrated for the subterranean pop four-piece.
  Stepping outside the United States was less a retreat than a shift in per
 spective\, creating distance to recognize a new sound that had been slowly
  taking shape among them. i’m DADA quickly revealed its character: more 
 propulsive\, more candid\, and their most structurally deliberate work to 
 date.\n\nWorking alongside experimental duo Lorelle Meets the Obsolete at 
 their studio El Derrumbe the sessions folded community into the album\, th
 ough its emotional core had already formed over months of pre-production. 
 Half of Holy Wave is Mexican\, with roots in the El Paso border region\, s
 o recording in Ensenada felt intuitive and relaxed. Joo Joo Ashworth\, mix
 ing engineer and longtime friend\, also provided a pivotal presence helpin
 g crystallize the album’s rhythmic language and subtly expanding the ban
 d’s sound. The songs began reflecting conversations about fatherhood and
  partnership\, breakups and estrangement\, the queasy acceleration of AI\,
  and what it means to remain present and principled while the world lurche
 s unpredictably forward.\n\nThis tension is not announced but absorbed int
 o the music. Holy Wave stretches their familiar sense of woozy atmosphere 
 into something leaner and more direct. There are more loops and samples wo
 ven throughout than before\, grooves that feel constructed\, cyclical\, hy
 pnotic. Some tracks drift toward dub’s elastic spaciousness\; others pul
 se with cinematic downtempo gravity. There is a fresh sense of momentum th
 roughout the record\, rhythms that pull forward\, dream-saturated textures
 \, sheets of fuzz\, and softly suspended vocals.\n\n“dewey’s dirge” 
 unfolds patiently: hazy guitars bloom\, a softened motorik pulse moving st
 eadily beneath. The vocals remain submerged\, widening rather than explodi
 ng. It feels expansive and reflective\, a comedown hymn that trades drama 
 for immersion. “i’m DADA\,” by contrast\, locks into a lean\, circul
 ar groove. A tight drum figure\, rubbery bassline\, and clipped guitar phr
 ase repeat until they begin to feel animate. Lyrically\, the song circles 
 the complicated devotion of fatherhood\, written in a brief pocket of rare
  solitude for a parent: Always loving (Try to do what’s right) / Always 
 learning (There’s never enough time). “s33.u.in/HAL” plays like a tr
 ansmission caught midair\, faintly mechanical\, immersive without ever ful
 ly resolving\, capturing the album’s central sensation: the act of tryin
 g to communicate clearly through static.\n\nIf earlier Holy Wave records o
 ften felt defined by their sense of drift\, i’m DADA feels newly grounde
 d. The album doesn’t abandon immersion\; it disciplines it. Grooves sett
 le\, repetitions accrue weight\, and the music is composed and unshaken am
 ongst its heavier themes. What emerges is not reinvention but a sharpening
 \, with Holy Wave sounding less like a band drifting through atmosphere an
 d more like one deliberately shaping it amongst the chaos.\n\nBoletos: htt
