Song of the day – 325: Band Of Holy Joy

Sure, I do requests. Here’s one.

(from Melody Maker)

Cha-Cha Cohen in three obscure reference points:

1. They sound like On-U recording artist, Annie Anxiety! They have the same swirling darkness within their beats, the same caustic voice to the female singer’s voice. You get the feeling that these are not people to live with. Their nightmares have nightmares. Their goosebumps have goosebumps.
2. If Band Of Holy Joy had ever started recording drinking songs with PJ Harvey and experienced a severe sensory overload, then the results could well’ve sounded like … all right, that’s probably bollocks.
3. They sound like On-U recording artist, Annie Anxiety! Cool.

Or, as my wife puts it, Band Of Holy Crap.

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
