"How good are Holoscene? So good that their debut EP, Nothing Is The End of Everything, has made me rethink my feelings towards post-rock as a whole ...like Do Make Say Think or Mogwai or Explosions in the Sky or any other band that's mastered the style -- they're able to shift tempos and volumes so well that they make what they do sound transcendent..."

"Listening to Holoscene prior to their show could not prepare me for what I witnessed that night. Holoscene played a set of surreal, ambient and serene soundscapes that melded their way into furious crescendos of rock. The crowds at the Velvet became hypnotized by Holoscene's set. At times it became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. No one said a word during their set as they were locked into moods and emotions that the band was creating. This is the kind of band you have to expierence live. Keep posted for our interview with Holoscene." - Toronto Music Scene Review of NXNE 2008
"...one of the best debuts of the last decade" - The Belleville Intelligencer
"This is post-rock in all its large-gesture glory, and it's more Led Zeppelin than any band particularly big at the moment."
- Dan Raper, PopMatters, 2007
"“Death Machine” is in demo state — thanks, Holoscene, because I love it. I’ve liked stuff by Holoscene before, but I find the raw condition of this distant, melancholy postrock study gives it a vital human skin and pulse"
- Warren Ellis
Knowing that you like our music I thought I'd let you know that we have uploaded 4 new songs in our player, feel free to come listen... They are from our second CD which is now released and should be available in fine record stores close to you
Hey Holoscene! Love your sound and looking forward to hearing you guys live in New York in August. It should be a nice contrast to the music that we play!
My friends, I hope you're not exhausted of live music following NXNE, because I'd like to personally invite you for a drink and a smile at Sneaky Dee's on Thursday, the 19th of June. We'll also be accompanied by a couple of very stimulating and courteous bands (The Isosceles Project & ADA) that will make for an especially high-caliber musical party.
thanks for finding me, holoscene. like the atmosphere in "sleeping in fields", and the textures used to create it. congrats on NXNE action btw! we'll be doing the same sat night, cheers to your show and maybe we'll cross paths at some point here in toronto - pauline/sleeps six
Spacenoiz is playing The Renaissance Cafe, 1938 Danforth Ave.(just west of Woodbine subway) this Thursday as part of the Altaria ambient series. I hope you can make it out ! Set time is 10pm and cover is $5.
Hey guys. I'm playing at the Drake Underground this coming Wednesday (June 4th). It's a really sweet bill and I'm excited for it! Please come out if you can. Your support is much appreciated :-)
Hope you are having a great weekend! Just downloaded your EP from iTunes and am enjoying it a lot! It gets inside you and meets the need. Take care and keep me posted on future works. Eric
Thanks for the myspacial friendship, and here’s wishing you a happy week, heavy with hilarious hoaxes, hospitable headless horsemen, heroic hobgoblins, hopeful harpy healers, horrifying heaps of horseradish, humorous hamster hags, haunted hairy harmonicas, and heavenly hellhounds howling heartfelt haikus about horoscope-handy hippopotami.
I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of checking out one of my short stories at my new officially official website, which is a strange land overpopulated by robotic parsnips and rabid yard gnomes. I'd love to hear what you think.
Happytimes, -Jeremy :)
