Survivalist Tales

VINYL FORMAT. Emil Amos, world renowned as drummer of the illustrious experimental rock groups Om and Grails, has an increasingly prolific solo career under the moniker Holy Sons. Home recording over 1000 songs since the project's inception in 1992, Amos has spent the better part of the last two decades honing his song writing and production skills over a wide swath of genres in a mission to capture his internal world sonically. Survivalist Tales is Holy Sons' ninth record, and represents the apex of Emil Amos' obsession to push stylistic genres to their breaking point while wrenching psych-anthems out of the darkest frontiers of self-confrontation. The songs are a seemingly impossible blend of nightmarish Blade Runner-esque moog music with the darkest side of 70's easy-listening psyche and feature some of the most unabashedly soaring choruses Amos has ever put to tape. Combining avant-sound collage with lyrics culled from the hard-won truths of self-exploration, Survivalist Tales builds a beautiful imagining of future music.
