More Info:
The music of Emil Amos is at once intimate and expansive. Under the name Holy Sons, as well as with bands Om, Grails, and Lilacs and Champagne, Amos harnesses boundless sonic textures to embellish delicately crafted songs, he plays the bulk of the instruments and sings the majority of the vocals throughout the album, and is joined on a few pieces by drummer Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth). His music balances cues from classic and indie rock traditions with tenderness and sense of foreboding through unparalleled artistry. Holy Sons' first double album Raw and Disfigured showcases Amos' mastery of songcraft through a seemingly impossible combination of subtle yet potent gestures, bold arrangements, and resolute vulnerability. Recorded at Sonic Youth's studio Echo Canyon West, Raw and Disfigured stands as Amos' most ambitious and comprehensive album yet, a panoramic gallery of songs as beautiful as they are crushing.1 The Loser that Always Wins2 Lady of the Hour3 Cast Bound King4 Hand that Feeds5 Permanent Things6 Four Walls7 Held the Hand8 Lost in the Fire9 Transformation10 Slow to Run11 Reach Out and Touch Something12 Cóiste Bodhar13 Nights Like This14 Up on that Hill15 Backslider's Wine16 Bloody Strings
