New York’s Holy Hive are masters of cerebral, understated indie-pop. The trio’s 2017 Daybreak EP is a collection of six twisting, winding and surprising compositions, rich with catchy melodies and refreshingly spare arrangements that include classical guitars and reverb-drenched piano. Brevity is an asset to Holy Hive, particularly on the final track, "Nocturne," whose spindly piano arpeggios and minor key invokes a sense of delicious apprehension, all under the three-minute mark. Holy Hive is playing at Baby’s All Right on April 4th, in support of The Shacks. Don’t miss the show, and listen to "Nocturne" below! – Ethan Ames
