Holy F

Short for Father Son Holy Ghost Church, group of churches that produced Gospel music.

Holy Fuck are a Toronto-based outfit, who create modern electronic music using traditional instruments and unconventional equipment. They record and play live with drums, bass, keyboards, toy keyboards, guitar pedals, mixers, and even a 35mm film synchronizer.

Originally formed by Brian Borcherdt and Graham Walsh, Holy Fuck has had a revolving line-up of additional musicians over the years. For their album "Latin", they settled as a four-piece unit with Matt McQuaid and Matt Schulz joining the fold.

With their unique approach to creating music and their captivating live performances, Holy Fuck have carved out a distinct space in the music industry. Their ability to mimic modern electronic sounds without relying on laptops or programmed backing tracks sets them apart from other artists in the genre.

Arriving at a moment where attention spans are shot and anxieties are going into overdrive, Deleter, Holy Fuck’s fifth studio LP, is a defiantly full-bodied affair. Polyrhythmic and pleasure-focused, Deleter sees Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt Schulz, and Matt “Punchy” McQuaid utilises their signature sound - seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house’s dreamy ineffability, expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz and tang they are renowned for.

From the thrusting minimalism of opener Luxe through to the triumphant chug of closing track Ruby, via club-ready rollocker Free Gloss and the cosmic clatter of San Sebastian, Deleter is a record that joins the Holy Fuck dots within their widescreen, technicolour, crescendo-heavy sound.
