Judas Horse by Judas Horse- shoegaze trio
"Throughout Holy War I am reminded of the wall of sound and droning atmospheric tones of bands like My Bloody Valentine and Spacemen 3. These shoegaze powerhouses utilize massive guitar pedal collections and lots of feedback and amp noises....Their songs rely heavily on hypnotic, pulsating, pedal-rich guitar work and steady driving bass lines. This five song EP opens with the title track, a perfect introduction to the genre-collage that is to follow. Psychedelic swirls, cavernous reverbs, and delays are complimented by harmonious and doleful vocals."

"Holy War shows the trio of Meghan Mulhearn (also of USX), Linn Rogers, and David Lynch (who has the greatest name ever, also of Enoch) exploring their various ranges of influence in a hypnotic, fluid sort of way that is highly indicative of the innovative Appalachian scene. Though the pulsating guitar and bass rhythm section has a wonderful, lulling sort of quality, I really feel that this short EP is centered around Meghan Mulhearn's wondrous, melancholic violin, which resides somewhere between sleepy bluegrass and "pioneer folk." If you're looking for an extremely relaxing, introspective, spacey album, Holy War is definitely for you."
-The Inarguable
"The band conjures up as much stygian darkness as Lovecraft himself on the title track; a strong concoction of audio nightshade that sinks into a contemplative vibe while crafting a living, breathing sky of violin overcast, reverb/delay smattered clean guitars, soft low-end, and alternating male/female vocals (sometimes harmonized). And from there, it’s like the soundtrack to another realm. "
