Holy Fuck

Holy Fuck's name describes the reaction I have whenever I hear their music. They are from Canada and they have a very unique spin on their genre. In their Wikipedia page's words;

"The band uses live instrumentation and miscellaneous instruments and non-instruments (including a 35 mm film sequencer, toy keyboards and toy phaser guns) to achieve electronic-sounding effects without the use of laptops or programmed backing tracks."

They improvise on a lot of songs live. This is gonna be kinda confusing because both albums are named "Holy Fuck", but the first is their debut album, with the second being their most recent.

Cowboys Aren't Indians (2005?)



This great EP is mostly a mystery I discovered on some livejournal community. Just listen, especially if you dig American Football and Owls and such.

Angel Eyes - Something To Do With Death (2005)



Fans of Red Sparowes, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Other Ridiculously Epic Shit should dig this. Listen to the first song on their myspace, "By The Time He Was My Age, Orson Welles Had Made Citizen Kane."
