HOLiDAY MYSTICS – Deliberance (single)

Deliberance: a made-up word combining ‘deliberate’ & ‘ignorance’ is the title of the new single from Tasmanian alt rock outfit HOLiDAY MYSTICS. With its heartfelt vocals & strong lyrical imagery, the spiritually uplifting Deliberance tells the age-old story of a brotherly feud & of opposing forces in our world – with a shift of perspective comes the realisation that we’re all the same.

Following a name change (from HOLiDAY) & a UK tour last Autumn promoting their previous single release WOA, which received love & support from Radio X’s John Kennedy, BBC Introducing & Amazing Radio (an Audition Show Winner too), the band have been back in Australia performing at Tasmania’s very own Great Escape Festival, as well as feverishly writing new material including this latest emotive gem of a track Deliberance.

Sung as a dynamic male & female duet, their soaring vocals create a Sia meets Coldplay moment that lifts the song to another realm leaving the listener contemplating the world we all live in & humanity’s relationship with itself – powerful stuff!

Lead vocalist Jesse explains: “Initially written 10 years ago while touring in a previous band with my brother, we had a serious fight where he broke my nose Our infamous altercations were frequent & immensely frustrating… this was the pinnacle & thankfully the end. Something changed after that moment as we finally saw each other’s perspectives & the bigger picture. I believe we can all choose this path or stay in a collective ‘deliberate ignorance’… & so the song was born”.
