Release Date: 18-11-2008
Details: 2008 release, an album whose incubation has lasted almost the entire length of the DJ/Producer's career. In terms of its musical direction, The Holy Pictures shares with Holmes' other work a rich and idiosyncratic fusion of influences. The first single, 'I Heard Wonders' calls to mind The Velvet Underground, Blondie and La Dsseldorf. David teamed up with Martin Rev from Suicide to write the lyrics for this track. Threaded through the rest of the album are myriad other influences from the Jesus and Mary Chain on 'Story Of The Ink' through the Soft Machine and Beach Boys on 'Melanie' and 'Hey Maggy', to Daniel Johnston and early Eno and Lanois on the beautifully haunting track 'The Ballad of Sarah and Jack'. As well as Rev, The Holy Pictures features collaborations with Leo Abrahams and Jon Hopkins. The album was recorded in Belfast, which, given its themes, seems only fitting. Universal.
