CMU Approved
Approved: Holy Child
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 25 July 2016
Self-styled ‘brat pop’ duo Holy Child released their latest EP, ‘America Oil Lamb’, last month. Featuring collaborations with Kate Nash, MS MR, RAC, Mereki, Tkay Maidza and Kitten, it features five tracks worth of pop with big ideas, lead by last single ‘Rotten Teeth’.
The video for next single ‘Power Play’ was released last week, of which vocalist Liz Nistico says: “I directed this video and wanted it to be a visual representation of my current obsession: industrial pop art on sale at the local mall. In typical ‘brat pop’ fashion the song touches upon my fear of aging, and the lyrics felt so true that for the first few months after writing them I would cringe when I listened to the song”.
