Holy Fuck announce new album and tour: hear “Evie”

Toronto dance-rock greats Holy Fuck have announced Event Beat, their sixth album and first in six years, which will be out March 27 via Satellite Services.

The far-flung members of the group met up in 2022 “inside a rural Nova Scotia village hall” where they lived and recorded together in relative isolation. As usual, they played as much of everything you hear live, and, unlike previous albums, Event Beat features no guest vocalists. Brian Borcherdt says the vibe of this album is running “towards something that is beyond personal control, either at the mercy of some bigger system or some unspoken will.”

The first single from the album is “Evie,” which finds their brand of dubby post-punk funk in fine form. You can watch the video, shot live in the studio and directed by Colin Medley, below.

Holy Fuck have also announced a world tour, including North America this spring with singer, songwriter and snowboarder Gus Englehorn, and then the UK and Europe this fall. There are NYC-area stops at Tubby’s Kingston on April 10 and Elsewhere Zone One on April 14. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 16 at 10 AM local time and all dates are listed below.
