The Holidays - Post Parade - CD

Sydney foursome The Holidays' debut album, Post Paradise, may have been a long time coming, but it has categorically been worth the wait. The first two singles, Moonlight Hours and Golden Sky, hinted at the exciting musical re-birth this band has taken over the past 18 months, yet do not exclusively define the depths of this blissful musical journey. Formed in 2007, the band quickly made their mark on the Australian musical landscape. The release of two EP's at opposite ends of 2008 saw them scoring Triple J rotation, share stages with the View, Jamie T, the Temper Trap & Little Red, and regularly name-checked as one of the nation's most promising new acts before bunkering down to prepare their long-player. Post Paradise is clearly a massive leap forward for The Holidays, and most importantly, an album to be consumed as a full course. It traverses genres and decades of inspiration, and only makes sense of the band's diversity in it's entirety as it brilliantly blurs the lines between indie rock, experimental, tropical and of course, late nights and summer days. Welcome to (Post) Paradise.
