Holychild first piqued interest a couple of years ago thanks to a clutch of zingy synth-pop hits like "Playboy Girl" and "Happy with Me." This prompted us to invite ourselves into their makeshift apartment to watch singer Liz customize the crap out of a bunch of secondhand clothes. It's amazing what you can do with some savvy snip-snip-snipping. The LA-based duo, completed by Louie, return on 6.2 with their debut album The Shape of Brat Pop to Come (out on Glassnote), which as you might suspect from the title. is a snap, crackle, pop collection of bubblegum melodies, ratatat beats, and fuzzy synth lines, and you can listen to the whole thing, a week ahead of release, above.
