THE BEAST

WARNING: Contains strobe lighting. Available at BANDCAMP: https://arcticlights.bandcamp.com/track/holy-joe SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3IyHkUK #alternativerock #newmusic2023 Arctic Lights new single ‘Holy Joe’ is a follow-up to their critically acclaimed single ‘Belong’ released in Oct 2022. 2023 sees a new direction from this creative force with an even darker and heavier sound. “Holy Joe may sound a bit different from some of our other songs but we like to surprise people with each new release as we get bored quickly and don’t just want to repeat the same tricks each time. This keeps us engaged and interested as we find exploring new sounds gets us excited, being an independent act allows us to do what we like and we will keep doing that while hoping people will enjoy what we do, but, overall we make music for ourselves.” – Edward Butt “I find writing music can be cathartic and songs have personalities of their own. I had a melody in mind for Holy Joe but no lyrics. The minute we pressed record to put the melody down the lyrics just started pouring out. I think you can feel a crackling and bristling in society at the moment like there is a fire about to ignite. For me, the emotion of the vocals captures this feeling perfectly. Hopefully, we can extinguish the fire.” – Liam O Callaghan Lyrics Tick tick ticking ticking ticking like a time bomb Like a time bomb ticking like a time bomb Tick tick ticking ticking ticking like a time bomb Like a time bomb ticking like a time bomb Tick tick ticking ticking ticking like a time bomb Yeah I’m yeah I'm yeah I'm yeah I'm gonna get it get it on Tick tick ticking ticking ticking like a time bomb Yeah I’m yeah I'm yeah I'm yeah I'm gonna get it get it on Gonna gonna gonna gonna get it on Gonna gonna gonna gonna get it on I can feel my head about to go I’m no holy Joe I can feel my head about to go I’m no holy Joe My heads about to explode My heads about to explode My heads about to explode My heads about to explode Dig it dig it dig it dig it dig it dig it Gonna gonna gonna gonna get it on Dig it dig it dig it dig it Gonna gonna gonna gonna get it on Dig it dig it dig it dig it Gonna gonna gonna gonna get it on Dig it dig it dig it dig it Gonna gonna gonna gonna get it on Gonna gonna gonna gonna get it on Credits Vocals: Liam O Callaghan Guitars: Liam O Callaghan Guitars / Bass: Edward Butt Drums: Max Mac Tambourine: Nora O'Neill Lyrics: Liam O Callaghan Produced / Mixed by Arctic Lights Mastered by Abbey Road Cover artwork by Edward Butt Video: Edward Butt
