Holy Motors - Heaven's Night Holy Motors

Holy Motors’ third studio album, Heaven’s Night, pairs the band’s signature Western dreamscapes with pop hooks and new-wave textures that mark new territory for the Estonian band. Notably, there is a new sweetness to the collection of songs on Heaven’s Night, which features characters who step away from the doomed sunsets and outback melancholy of 2020’s Horse. As the band puts it, their new sound is “sweet as dripping honey, sad like summer rain.”

Without a doubt, Heaven’s Night is Holy Motors’ most varied album to date. From the furious gallop of “The Last Ones” to the pop centrepiece, “Hellish- ly Hot,” Heaven’s Night throws a new spin on the band’s world, one that is a little less haunted and a little more dangerous.
