Holy Fawn

Holy Fawn are a four-piece post-rock/shoegaze band from Phoenix, Arizona that began in 2015. Since then, they've released two full-lengths and a few EP's/singles. Sonically, they play a dark and expansive take on post-rock that's simultaneously foreboding and ethereal, with shimmering tremolos and hard-hitting riffs. They reach immaculately heavy crescendos with walls of distortion and reverb, while the driving rhythm section give them a real energy and urgency, with soft vocals splashed against the background of the noise. Fans of bands including Slow Crush, Greet Death, Nothing, Deafheaven or Cloakroom should absolutely give this a listen if you haven't already. Enjoy.
