Austin outfit Holy Wave have released a new split 7″ single with Seattle band Chastity Belt on Suicide Squeeze. The record features the Chastity Belt track ‘That Guy’ along with Holy Wave’s cut ‘Time Crisis Too’. Along with a digital release, there is also 1000 limited edition vinyls which will come in red, green, and yellow.

What you get with ‘Time Crisis Too’ is an airy handing of indie with injections of lush psychedelic pop. Aside from the production being extremely ethereal and dreamy, towards the end they deliver funk fuelled drums that is so potent, it’s practically sample worthy. ‘Time Crisis’ is one of those songs that will absolutely stay on repeat…for a while! Have a listen.

Touching on the track,

“We immediately started working on new music after the Interloper session. It felt effortless after the album, so we wrote as much as possible. “Time Crisis Too” was one of the first ones to come out; it happened organically before we had any direction. We continued working like this until March 2020, when we started a short East Coast/Midwest tour. “Time Crisis Too” was added to that tour’s setlist, and it was going great. Sometimes, you can’t totally understand a song until you play it night after night. So that’s what we did—we played it every night until Chicago, where it ended with the pandemic. It’s hard to believe the song got shelved because I love it so much, but after that Chicago show, it did get shelved. It wasn’t until we recorded some songs in 2022 that we played it again. We still haven’t played it live since then, but maybe by the time you read this, that will have changed.”
