The track is from an upcoming new EP from the Norwegian trio
Having established an expansive and genre-bending brand of dark synth-pop that masterfully blends synths, accordion, vocals and drums, Norwegian trio The Holy Mountain continue to defy expectations and surprise and beguile listeners with the off-kilter appeal and seemingly boundless creativity.
The latest single from the outfit is ‘Searing Light’, a complex and explosive track that has a searing and cathartic edge to it, much like its title suggests. The track explores the theme of leaving darkness behind in favour of the light, and losing touch with everything under its powerful and overwhelming glow. The lines between dark and light get blurred in a time where light can mean darkness and darkness can mean light, and the danger and intensity of such a situation is perfectly captured within the sound. The band’s unique instrumentation and creative charm serves to elevate this theme even further, and does a great job of reminding listeners of exactly how awe-inspiring the trio can be ahead of the release of their upcoming new EP.
