Holy Motors third studio album, Heavens Night, pairs the bands signature Western dreamscapes with pop hooks and new-wave textures that mark new territory for the Estonian band. Notably, there is a new sweetness to the collection of songs on Heavens Night, which features characters who step away from the doomed sunsets and outback melancholy of 2020s Horse. As the band puts it, their new sound is sweet as dripping honey, sad like summer rain.
Without a doubt, Heavens Night is Holy Motors most varied album to date. From the furious gallop of The Last Ones to the pop centerpiece, Hellish- ly Hot, Heavens Night throws a new spin on the bands world, one that is a little less haunted and a little more dangerous.
