The Capetonian folk-rock foursome intertwine light and breezy tunes with hard-hitting lyrics, while dreamy harmonies and philosophical musings merge to lift listeners to a place where everything feels just that little bit lighter. From start to end the lyrically rich album journeys through a spectrum of feeling, taking the listener along on an evocative and often metaphorical journey, with moods ranging from joyous to reflective, cynical to hopeful.
“The name Holiday Murray was not pre-meditated. It is the name given to a figurehead and a friend, one is wooden and one is human. It has come to represent a fifth element in the band, an invisible part of our sound. The name speaks for itself and best describes why we play our music.”
