 s | 21+\n\nW/ Queen Serene\n\nIn Ensenada\, Mexico\, where the Pacific hor
 izon cuts a clean\, unwavering line\, Holy Wave recorded their latest full
 -length\, i’m DADA\, a record that feels both expansive and newly concen
 trated for the subterranean pop four-piece. Stepping outside the United St
 ates was less a retreat than a shift in perspective\, 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 expe
 rimental duo Lorelle Meets the Obsolete at their studio El Derrumbe the se
 ssions folded community into the album\, though its emotional core had alr
 eady 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 in
 tuitive and relaxed. Joo Joo Ashworth\, mixing engineer and longtime frien
 d\, also provided a pivotal presence helping crystallize the album’s rhy
 thmic language and subtly expanding the band’s sound. The songs began re
 flecting conversations about fatherhood and partnership\, breakups and est
 rangement\, the queasy acceleration of AI\, and what it means to remain pr
 esent and principled while the world lurches unpredictably forward.\n\nThi
 s tension is not announced but absorbed into the music. Holy Wave stretche
 s their familiar sense of woozy atmosphere into something leaner and more 
 direct. There are more loops and samples woven throughout than before\, gr
 ooves that feel constructed\, cyclical\, hypnotic. Some tracks drift towar
 d dub’s elastic spaciousness\; others pulse with cinematic downtempo gra
 vity. There is a fresh sense of momentum throughout the record\, rhythms t
 hat 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 steadily beneath. The vocals rema
 in submerged\, widening rather than exploding. It feels expansive and refl
 ective\, a comedown hymn that trades drama for immersion. “i’m DADA\,
 ” by contrast\, locks into a lean\, circular groove. A tight drum figure
 \, rubbery bassline\, and clipped guitar phrase repeat until they begin to
  feel animate. Lyrically\, the song circles the complicated devotion of fa
 therhood\, written in a brief pocket of rare solitude for a parent: Always
  loving (Try to do what’s right) / Always learning (There’s never enou
 gh time). “s33.u.in/HAL” plays like a transmission caught midair\, fai
 ntly mechanical\, immersive without ever fully resolving\, capturing the a
 lbum’s central sensation: the act of trying to communicate clearly throu
 gh static.\n\nIf earlier Holy Wave records often felt defined by their sen
 se of drift\, i’m DADA feels 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 les
 s like a band drifting through atmosphere and more like one deliberately s
 haping it amongst the chaos.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/pybk3p-holy
