{"product_id":"holygram-modern-cults-2cd","title":"Holygram - Modern Cults","description":"\u003cp\u003e2CD digipak\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusic for the lost: HOLYGRAM‘s music blends post-punk and new wave with Krautrock and shoegaze elements into a headstrong, multi-layered and thoroughly contemporary homage to the sound of the 1980s, including a resolute look to the future: driving, dark and full of catchy moments.\r\nThe wide range of influences of the five band members, who got together in Cologne’s vibrating musical landscape in 2015, are unmistakable: New Order meets NEU!. Their unpretentious approach to their own icons proves that references to the past must always be future-oriented, too.\r\nPreviously impossible-to-combine elements come together cleverly to become the soundtrack of a city that appears threatening in the twilight.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band who always wrap themselves in dense wafts of mist and cool lighting on stage have played numerous festivals, such as the Mailfeld Derby, Wave-Gotik-Treffen and New Waves Day and accompanied British act OMD on their 2017 European tour. This fall HOLYGRAM are set to embark on an extensive support tour with VNV Nation through Europe and the US to introduce their debut album Modern Cults live.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recording takes up where their self-titled 2016 EP left off and intensifies HOLYGRAM‘s contemplation of themes such as big cities, alienation and anonymity, hope and memories, love and identity: These constant reflections always interact closely with the band’s unmistakable sonic guise. The atmosphere oscillates between the brutal sounds of the big city and the fragility of the people that lose themselves in it – intelligently observed scenarios of a world falling apart in which individuals have long ceased to play a leading role. The eleven songs were created over the past few years and some of them have already been tested in a live context. Numbers such as the title track Modern Cults or the spherical Still There follow their protagonist on a nocturnal\r\ntrip through clubs, flashbacks, run-down neighbourhoods and the abysses of the human psyche.\r\nThe diversity of the cityscape as a reflection of the people who live in it seems like an Ariadne's thread that the five musicians offer to their listeners to help them navigate this broad stylistic range. Because HOLYGRAM don’t see themselves as representatives of a specific genre.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelancholy walls of guitar sounds (Distant Light) interchange with uplifting bass runs (Hideaway), chilly synthesizers meet stoically driving rhythms and together make up the projection screen for the ambivalent stories that HOLYGRAM tell in their music. While 1997 wanders through forgotten places in a broken-up relationship, the song She’s like the sun is an ironic confrontation with the failure to achieve unreachable targets. Autobiographical elements blend with fiction, the past melts into the present and they all become a simultaneously oppressive yet hopeful vision of human (co-) existence: a  person caught in the mist of their own dreams at the intersection of outer and inner world, between fiction and reality.\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting CD1:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable class=\"tracklist_table\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"80%\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e No.\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"90%\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Track \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Time\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eInto The Void\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e01:08\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eModern Cults\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e04:20\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eA Faction\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e04:35\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eSignals\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e05:15\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eDead Channel Skies\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e03:40\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eHideaway\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e05:53\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eStill There\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e04:18\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eOdd Neighbourhood\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e04:04\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e9\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eShe's Like The Sun\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e06:10\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eDistant Light\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e05:18\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003e1997\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e05:25\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting CD2:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable class=\"tracklist_table\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"80%\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e No.\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"90%\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Track \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Time\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eModern Cults (Blind Delon Remix)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eSignals (TRAITRS -
