New David Holmes album (warning: He's gone a bit 'What's Goin' On')

I like David Holmes as a bloke. There's two reasons. One: I've seen him DJ three times... once he played Detroit techno, the second he played psych and punk and the third time he played a variety of slipmats  while hammering out crude drunken beats on a horses arse. Okay, one of those is a lie (the psych and punk one) but you get the gist - he's eclectic and does what he likes. Second reason... and the main point of this article... is that there's a picture of him knocking around the internet of him smacking someone in the face from behind his decks. However, I can't find it. That doesn't render this pointless. Hell no Holmer fans!

He's got a new LP comin' out. It's called 'The Holy Pictures'. Due out September 8th release and preceded by a single, 'I Heard Wonders' (August 25th), the LP will be, in his words: "The story eally began on August 4th, 1996, when my mother, Sarah Holmes, passed away. I had always wanted to make a record about my life in Belfast and all the things attached to that – family, friends, loss, love and starting a family of my own. All the stuff that shapes the person you become." The album will be released via a record label on various formats and best taken aurally or via a series of injections in the belly.

I really liked his 'Bow Down To The Exit Sign' LP; I especially thought '69 Police' and 'Hey Lisa' were pretty neat. No 'Contino Sessions', sure, but it had it's moments. The late '90s Big Beat Trip Hip Hop Skunk Rock Bobby Gillespie On Guest Vocals UNKLE Remix revival continues...
