HOLY

Ryder

As HOLY, Stockholm-based songwriter Hannes Ferm has moved playfully between sounds, exploring garage pop on his 2015 debut and widescreen glam-psych on its follow-up. Now, for his third album, he pivots to intimate synth-pop, balancing his love for melody and experimentation. Produced by Jacob Haage (El Perro Del Mar), Ryder finds Ferm "in a wonderfully colorful mood," says Gold Flake Paint, "presenting something that feels at once both illusory and gloriously skewed, like finding yourself consciously trapped inside a dream." The LP sees release on PNKSLM Recordings.
