After a massive rejig and a whole heap of calendar juggling, we're thrilled to announce the brand new rescheduled dates for our HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL WORLD album tour.
 Based on how things are going, these dates should be a hoot and hopefully, by then, the powers that be will let us all sing and dance together again. It feels like forever since we have seen you all, and we can't wait to come visit and play these new tunes for you - so please hold onto your tickets! When these shows finally happen next year, it's going to be beautiful. 

We are also excited to announce that we are partnering with an organization called Carbon Co to calculate the emissions generated from our flights and driving on this tour and offset them. The system works by funding and supporting projects which reduce greenhouse gas emissions via a range of technologies in projects from around the world. More details can be found on the touring page of our website 🍃✈️☀️.

Fresh from the announcement of their forthcoming fourth album, Hello My Beautiful World out Friday 20 August via Wonderlick Recording Company, today Holy Holy  shares their irrepressible new single The Aftergone (feat. CLEWS).   To mark the release, the sonic masterminds have announced a national tour in November and December.   Holy Holy’s exhilarating live spectacle will commence on Thursday 5 November in Perth, and continue throughout Margaret River, Bunbury, Torquay, Frankston, Melbourne, Canberra, Wollongong, Newcastle, Sydney, the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns, Adelaide, Hobart and Launceston.

Recorded in a series of modest studios and spare rooms in Tasmania and Victoria, Holy Holy’s fourth album, Hello My Beautiful World is perhaps their most fully realised. Built upon a foundation of electronic beats and rolling synths, the record combines lush string arrangements, May-esque guitar riffs and chanted vocals to produce a heady and persuasive mix. The record moves fluidly through a collection of feverish moods and atmospheres, unfolding unpredictably and building to a series of fierce and manic highs. It’s a dense and ambitious record suited to close and repeated listening.

Like many records you will hear throughout 2021, Hello My Beautiful World was largely forged in the midst of Australia's lockdown period.   The pair didn't tackle the album entirely on their own - Japanese Wallpaper added distinctive texture and flair across the album, CLEWS, meanwhile, have their voices featured on the incessant, electric cut The Aftergone, and of course there is the hyperactive, fiery guest verses of Melbourne rapper Queen P on Port Rd. Throw in the flourishes of composer Toby Alexander's string arrangements, plus collaborations with The Presets Kim Moyes, and you're looking at a record that sees the band redefining itself as a powerful force in the Australian songwriting landscape.

Featuring lead single Port Rd. feat. Queen P, the grandiose second single How You Been and recent arresting album track Believe Anything, Hello My Beautiful World is an accomplished release from a band that is certainly not short on accomplishments. With their three full-length albums to date, the duo have built a loyal and dedicated fanbase with over 100 million streams across their body of work and multiple gold and platinum singles hanging on their walls. If that wasn't enough, there are nominations for ARIA Awards, J Awards and National Live Music Awards to take note of, all maintained through their fanatically attended live shows and unique songwriting.

Hello My Beautiful World will be released through Wonderlick Recording Company on Friday 20 August.
