10/12/2016 : HOLISPARK - The Harvest

HOLISPARK

The Harvest

MusicCD (EP)
Power Rock/Pop

[75/100]   

Self-released
10/12/2016, Wim GUILLEMYN

EN

Manon (vocals), Kevin (guitar) and Roch (drums) met in a previous band and in 2015 they focused on Holispark. For bass and other instruments this band from Lille (France) makes use of guest musicians.

What can you expect from this EP? Uplifting feel-good powerpop and rocksongs. Manon has a pleasant voice and the musical enthusiasm is high. This leads to six delicate and pleasant songs that can do well on the radio. It especially gives you a summer feeling while listening. A bit like Supergrass, to name but one band.

Musically is is not complicated or strange, everything soundssolid and is well put together. The sum is stronger than the individual parts. Many up-tempo songs, but also a more subdued song in the form of a ballad: Slippery Slope. Manon's voice can be compared with The Sundays, The Cardigans, etc... Win or Learn is also a strong song. The accompanying music can still grow with respect to recognisability and profiling, so that everything sounds more catchy.

This EP is a sunny release that only lacks a song that can break through on the radio.

Manon (vocals), Kevin (gitaar) en Roch (drums) ontmoetten elkaar in een vorige band en in 2015 richtten ze Holispark op. Voor de bas en andere instrumenten maakten deze band uit Rijsel (Lille) gebruik van gastmuzikanten.

Wat mag je verwachten van deze ep? Opzwepende feelgood powerpop en rockliedjes. Manon heeft een aangename stem en er wordt met volle overgave gemusiceerd. Dat leidt tot zes fijne en aangename liedjes die het goed kunnen doen op de radio. Ze geven je vooral een zomers gevoel terwijl je luistert. Een beetje het gevoel zoals bij Supergrass, om maar één voorbeeld te noemen.

Muzikaal moet je niet meteen iets gecompliceerds of aparts verwachten, maar alles zit degelijk en goed in elkaar. De som is sterker dan de individuele delen. Veel uptempo nummers, maar ook een ingetogenere song in de vorm van een ballad: Slippery Slope. Het stemgeluid van Manon kan je wat vergelijken met The Sundays, The Cardigans etc… Win or Learn is een sterke song. De begeleidingsmuziek kan inzake herkenbaarheid en profilering nog wat groeien zodat alles nog meer catchy wordt.

Deze ep is een zonnige release waarop alleen een song ontbreekt die op de radio potten kan breken.

IAMX feels quite delicate to me. It needs understanding and effort to really see the bigger picture. The live show can do that, it can convince people, but from my internal feeling, it can be uncomfortable.

In our rehearsal room, making music was one thing; lounging around and drinking, joking around, and drinking even more was also fun.

I am often a little frustrated by the complexity of my music, which in turn motivates me to keep composing, hoping that one day I will write a simple song.
