Sway to The Holydrug Couple's Sunny, Psychedelic, and Perfect "Baby, I'm Going Away"

Chilean duo return with a new track from their new LP due on Sacred Bones in May.

Chilean psychedelic crew The Holydrug Couple push into exciting realms with "Baby, I'm Going Away," the latest single from the band's forthcoming Moonlust LP. Propelled by sunny vocal harmonies awash in massive amounts of reverb, the new track sounds more at ease in late 60s Southern California than South America. The trend continues on the rest of Moonlust too, starting with the synth-driven instrumental "Atlantic Postcard," and on to slyly funky tracks like "French Movie Theme," "U Don't Wake Up," and "Generique Noir" all of which are driven by a highly compressed drum kit that sounds right out of Dilla's SP-1200.
