CD Edition
CD edition of Values in foldout card wallet

True stories; real life, real people. For Holy Family it’s our human, and at times non-human, experiences which have shaped the sound of brand-new album Values. An upbeat collection of thought-provoking tales reflecting the light and dark sides of life itself, each track is a poignant commentary by a band who have never been ones to stay put for too long.

“Values is about feeling too old to keep up and too young to give up,” explains family member, Anton. “It is a complete presentation of our music and ‘time’ is especially relevant; how it affects us and how we try to affect it. The album is ambiguous in mood, fluctuates and relates to a wider variety of emotions than we’ve ever attempted to create before.”

Each track on Values sparkles with its own captivating tale that walks the high-wire between ideal and reality, expectation and the values that drive us. ‘In the fall of Jimmy Angel’ and ‘Memory Collector’, talk of the new trend for ‘personal branding’ and how society’s values are affected by social media. “A lot of life is about routines and streaming more bad TV shows than you’re necessarily proud to admit,” Anton says.

After spending the last 24 months experiencing life in and between their rural hometown on the outskirts of Gothenburg, the Canadian city of Montreal, and sunny climbs of Athens, Georgia, Values also reflects the guilty side to the doors of opportunity brought about by relocation. Showing that where the sun may shine brighter, the grass isn’t always greener, the climactic ‘Empty Gestures’ talks of leaving small town living behind for a new life in the big city. “There was something that felt important about moving back to Sweden and coming to terms with how things are here,” recalls fellow family member Viktor. “When we all moved back we were pretty relieved – it can be hard to shake that sense of being an outsider when you move to a new city… the experience is one of escapism and less about finding a new home.”

A former trio including third member Erik, in Canada Holy Family’s ties were cut down to a duo. Anton and Viktor represented the band from their new base abroad, performing at M for Montreal and Toronto Film festivals and toured Europe with Of Montreal whilst their song ‘Airy Jane’ featured on the US version of TV show Shameless. The band received an award from the Swedish Association of Composers (STIM) but time apart only drew Holy Family closer and once the pair returned home, the group doubled in size after reuniting with Erik and calling upon the guitar skills of good friend Petter.

Written in Gothenburg Values was recorded over just two weeks in Athens, Georgia with Kevin Barnes. With little time for breaks, the combination of fatigue and time constraints forced the band beyond their comfort zone and into new sonic realms, giving the record it’s eclectic feel recalling the experimentalism of Blur or Grizzly Bear with the technical style of late 60s song-writing. Assisted by Drew Vandenberg and mixed by David Pye (Wild Beasts, 2:54) , before long the tropical temperatures surrounding Kevin’s home took effect on the band. “Just being somewhere that has t-shirt weather in April was impressive, but especially when you’re from Sweden,” says Anton. “Our first recordings in Montreal definitely had more of a second-hand sweater vibe whereas this record has more of a second-hand t-shirt tinge to it.”

Just as all great stories have morals, despite their lightness and wit, Holy Family never stray far from the bitter truth. Like the endless possibilities and eventualities of life, its technologies and social concerns that come with them, Holy Family seek to explore this further through their songs, which have already started to take on a life of their own. “These songs have travelled the world before we’ve even played them live so they’ve already had time to grow into something beyond our control,” Erik teases.

beautiful draping and forgiving
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Polka Dot
A beautiful dress. Well made. Fully lined. I don't know what they mean by front slit. There's no slit unless they meant there's a waist line. Fitted but true to size. There's a side zipper that helps get in and out of the dress. There's also a corset in the back that pulls any slack. I'm 5'5" and weigh 185 lbs. It's ankle length. The Drop makes good dresses. I bought the Crimson too and it's a beautiful red that makes everyone turn and gaze. There's another dress the Drop makes which is polka dot and same version in ivory. Beautiful draping and forgiving. I found these dresses when viewed at emanuela.moss@tiktok.

Cute dress, just not for me.
Size: Medium, Color: Iceberg Linear Floral, Size: Medium, Color: Iceberg Linear Floral
5’4”, size 6/8. I bought a medium. The Good — the color is accurate, and the pattern is pretty in person. It’s fully lined, and The material doesn’t feel cheap. The Bad — the fit was just odd. I’m a 6/8 and reliably a medium, but the fit was so weird on me, that I’m not even sure what the problem was. I don’t know how a bust can be both too big and too small, but that’s what I felt like here! The length was also not good for me, but is accurate to the picture. I’m 5’4” and it hit right above the ankle bone. TLDR; the dress is nice, but the fit is bad on me.

Lovely dress. Good quality but squashes my boobs
Size: Small, Color: Navy Polka Dot
Size chart is accurate but if you have a large bust consider sizing up, the bust area doesn’t have much room so expect lots of cleavage if you have a large chest. It kind of squashed my boobs and doesn’t provide the best support. This is best for smaller chests. The quality is nice and it washes well. This can be worn with flats on a casual day or dresses up with some heels. This dress is lined and not see through.

My favorite this summer
Size: 9, Color: Red Leather, Size: 9, Color: Red Leather
These are very nice. I like this type of sandal with the "thong" feature while also having my foot gently hugged. These did not require much breaking in, seemed pretty comfortable from the first wear. I wore them to a high-end rooftop restaurant with a chiffon and silk maxi dress, and it worked really well, got compliments and all, though I have no good shots from there with these sandals visible. The red color definitely makes them pop, especially with black elements of the outfit. I also got them in black here, and in white from another store. Their shape is delicate, yet sharp and stylish, and they seem to be well-made. When I got these shoes, I took them to my artistic shoe repair guy, to promptly put protective layer on the front bottom of the soles. That way, it always looks like new, no scratched sole. That costs a bit, but worth it for me. I might buy a pair or two in some other colors, later. I am 5'10" tall, clothes size M, shoes - 9, 150lb. These shoes feel true to size.
