Holy Fawn’s new album, Dimensional Bleed, is out now via Wax Bodega (listen here).
“We’re always going to be the same four humans making music,” singer/guitar player Ryan Osterman said as news of the album was made public. “With every release, I feel like we’ve continued to learn how to best support each other both mentally and musically, which enables us to try new things. Personally, I think this record has truly allowed us to explore more creative avenues than we did with Death Spells.”
Guitar player Evan Phelps explained the concept behind the album’s name: “Dimensional Bleed vaguely refers to a concept of multiple dimensions and timelines that could exist simultaneously. A lot of different media has alluded to this ideology, and I find the possibility of multiple dimensions intersecting and bleeding into others to be fascinating.”
Over the lead-up to today’s release, the Phoenix-based band released three advance singles (“Death Is A Relief,” “Dimensional Bleed,” and “Void of Light”) from the Mike Watts (Dillinger Escape Plan, Glassjaw)-produced album. The videos for “Death Is A Relief” and “Void of Light” showcased two sides to the foursome, with “Death Is A Relief” exploring grand, sweeping vistas exploring the narrative of life and death, while “Void of Light” shines a light on Holy Fawn’s restrained power as a live entity.
Holy Fawn are in the midst of a U.S tour, with a Riot Fest performance closing out the current leg, followed by additional stints in the U.K. and a Western U.S. trek in November.
