About holybones

holybones is an enigmatic alt-electronic collective from London known for their unique blend of spoken-word, second-hand sounds, and dance riffs, creating music that explores the hopes and disconnect of young adults in a big city. Their sound incorporates crunchy, breaks-laden electronics and cinematic qualities, often featuring patient vocals that deliver narrative-driven lyrics. While maintaining anonymous identities, holybones has been recognized as one of BBC 6Music's Ones To Watch for 2025. In their latest endeavors, holybones released the new single "SLUGBOY" featuring Baxter Dury on April 15, 2026, which marked their first new music since their debut EP, "I got a good night's sleep," and was accompanied by a self-directed music video. The group has also been active with live performances, including a show at Vespers in Peckham and an appearance at the Motel Mozaïque (MOMO) Festival in Rotterdam in April 2026. They are also scheduled to play at The Great Escape in Brighton on May 16, 2026, and have an upcoming show at The Shacklewell Arms in London on June 12, 2026. Previously, they released singles such as "Everywhere Break" and "Saltywater" in 2025.
