Holy Ghost!'s first new music in years is a bright, tight, tense mini-epic, solidifying the band as one of the pillars of the mid-'00s disco resurgence.
While James Murphy and his cohorts in LCD Soundsystem are busy touring the globe while positioning themselves as voices of a generation that may have partied a little too hard for a little too long, their DFA labelmates Holy Ghost! are engineering a notable return to form with , their first EP of new material since their 2013 sophomore record, Dynamics. Up until now, Holy Ghost!'s arguable greatest achievement was their debut single, "Hold On," a track brilliant enough to carry the band from its release in 2007 to their debut album four years later. The four sprawling, joyous dance tracks on finally follow up "Hold On" with something equally substantial. It's a bright, tight, tense mini-epic, solidifying the band as one of the pillars of the mid-'00s disco resurgence.
