Activity (Vinyl)
Chapter Music is very pleased to release Sydney trio Holy Balm's second album Activity.
Already much-loved for their mutant, free form house, Holy Balm give their most direct nod to the dancefloor yet on Activity. The pop hooks of Fashion, the upbeat laments of All Night Long and the wayward rattles of closing track Dancing Gravy II harbour echoes of 2012 debut It's You (released by Californian label Not Not Fun and Sydney stalwarts RIP Society), but Activity is purpose-built for movement, bouncing subversive gestures off a brighter, bolder dance veneer.
The band - Anna John, Emma Ramsay and Jonathan Hochman - list the themes of the album as "managing, sustaining, being energised by and connecting to your community through activity." These kind of urges can be draining for any artist/performer, but they are also essential to lasting, life-enriching creativity. Holy Balm triumph via transcendence, movement and fun, with the album's very title suggesting how best to listen to it - dancing in the bedroom, creating in the studio, sweating in the club, or just moving.
