Holy Motors release third album Heaven’s Night

Holy Motors have released their third album, Heaven’s Night, on Wharf Cat Records, ERR reports.

The band began working on the album in 2021, when guitarist Ivar Mägi and multi-instrumentalist Villem Sarapuu joined Eliann Tulve, Lauri Raus and Caspar Salo. They recorded it last summer at Ö Studio in Tartu with Martin Kikas. It is the band’s first album recorded in Estonia.

The album features 10 tracks with a total running time of 37 minutes. Tulve said in the summer that Kikas had worked extensively with the band and on its music, adding that he was almost like a band member.

Tulve and Raus wrote the songs, which tell stories about characters searching for “something more” in their lives, often against the atmosphere of the American so-called Wild West.

Holy Motors previously released Slow Sundown in 2018 and Horse in 2020.
