Gothenburg four-piece Holy Now slows things down on “It Will All End In Tears”

On their debut album Think I Need The Light last year, Holy Now established themselves as experts in bright-eyed and bushy-tailed indie pop, and they already have a new EP ready to go just over a year later. A short one mind, with the It Will All End In Tears EP consisting of just three songs. And sitting at the centre of it all, both literally and spiritually, is the title track.

A couple of classic Holy Now touches are here in the angelic harmonies and the widescreen outro to close the song out, but it’s a song that’s slower and weightier than their usual zippy tracks. Singer Julia Olander’s sadness is rendered over grand, soft alt-rock, low guitars star-shooting across here and there.

Olander says: “'It Will All End In Tears' is an epic song, with space for a lot of feelings. It was written in the winter, when there was snow everywhere outside, but it feels almost more fitting now, with the long, bright, never-ending summer evenings.”
