Australian quirky dance trio Holy Balm releasing 'Activity' LP (listen to "Clandestine")

Holy Balm hail from Sydney, Australia and make “mutant, free-form house” which is to say, it’s danceable but charmingly off kilter and refreshingly not tied to any particular era. The trio’s new album, Activity, is out Aug 5 on vinyl and digital via Chapter Music. (Pre-order yours.) We’ve got the premiere of “Clandestine,” a sinuous and spirited track that bounces along with lovely harmonies as a capper. You can stream it, and check out the video for first single “Fashion,” below.

You may have caught Holy Balm live in the U.S. back in 2013 when they were over for SXSW. Let’s hope they return. Meanwhile check out album art, tracklist and song streams below.
