Holy Motors ride Tough Crush into Heaven’s Night with honeyed sadness and new-wave headlights

Holy Motors return on 30 June with details of Heaven’s Night, their third album and first in six years, and Tough Crush makes the comeback sound like a slow drive through neon, dust and confused desire. The Estonian band are moving into what they describe as uncharted territory, bringing pop and new wave textures into the dream-rock atmosphere that shaped Horse. Tough Crush follows the title track and seems to capture a very Holy Motors kind of scene: a dancer at a party, a quiet night, a drive, another CircleK passing by and the sudden realization that a crush may be more cinematic than useful. Heaven’s Night was fully recorded in Estonia at Ö Stuudio in Tartu, where the band apparently turned up in a pawn-shop-like room full of dusty relics. That sounds exactly right for music that wants to be sweet as dripping honey and sad like summer rain.
