SUMMARY:Holy Wave\, Queen Serene
LOCATION:Zebulon
DESCRIPTION:**Holy Wave**\n\n**Queen Serene**\n\nIn Ensenada\, Mexico\, whe
 re the Pacific horizon cuts a clean\, unwavering line\, Holy Wave recorded
  their latest full-length\, \\*i’m DADA\\*\, a record that feels both ex
 pansive and newly concentrated for the subterranean pop four-piece. Steppi
 ng outside the United States was less a retreat than a shift in perspectiv
 e\, creating distance to recognize a new sound that had been slowly taking
  shape among them. \\*i’m DADA\\* quickly revealed its character: more p
 ropulsive\, more candid\, and their most structurally deliberate work to d
 ate.\n\nWorking alongside experimental duo Lorelle Meets the Obsolete at t
 heir studio El Derrumbe\, the sessions folded community into the album\, t
 hough 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\, 
 so recording in Ensenada felt intuitive and relaxed. Joo Joo Ashworth\, mi
 xing engineer and longtime friend\, also provided a pivotal presence\, hel
 ping crystallize the album’s rhythmic language and subtly expanding the 
 band’s sound. The songs began reflecting conversations about fatherhood 
 and partnership\, breakups and estrangement\, the queasy acceleration of A
 I\, and what it means to remain present and principled while the world lur
 ches unpredictably forward.\n\nThis tension is not announced but absorbed 
 into the music. Holy Wave stretches their familiar sense of woozy atmosphe
 re into something leaner and more direct. There are more loops and samples
  woven throughout than before\, grooves that feel constructed\, cyclical\,
  hypnotic. Some tracks drift toward dub’s elastic spaciousness\; others 
 pulse with cinematic downtempo gravity. There is a fresh sense of momentum
  throughout the record: rhythms that pull forward\, dream-saturated textur
 es\, sheets of fuzz\, and softly suspended vocals.\n\n“dewey’s dirge
 ” unfolds patiently: hazy guitars bloom\, a softened motorik pulse movin
 g steadily beneath. The vocals remain submerged\, widening rather than exp
 loding. It feels expansive and reflective\, a comedown hymn that trades dr
 ama for immersion. “i’m DADA\,” by contrast\, locks into a lean\, ci
 rcular groove. A tight drum figure\, rubbery bassline\, and clipped guitar
  phrase repeat until they begin to feel animate. Lyrically\, the song circ
 les 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 transmission caught midair\, faintly mechanical\, immersive withou
 t ever fully resolving\, capturing the album’s central sensation: the ac
 t of trying to communicate clearly through static.\n\nIf earlier Holy Wave
  records often felt defined by their sense of drift\, \\*i’m DADA\\* fee
 ls newly grounded. The album doesn’t abandon immersion\; it disciplines 
 it. Grooves settle\, repetitions accrue weight\, and the music is composed
  and unshaken amongst its heavier themes. What emerges is not reinvention 
 but a sharpening\, with Holy Wave sounding less like a band drifting throu
 gh atmosphere and more like one deliberately shaping it amongst the chaos.
