Stereogum says, "a stark, spooky kind of Americana with a heavy metal soul."

Treble says, "a harrowing and atmospheric gothic country sound that’s reminiscent of 16 Horsepower, Angels of Light or a particularly apocalyptic Bonnnie “Prince” Billy. It’s chilling, epic stuff."

Various Small Flame says, "there’s a devotional quality to the sound, though one which bends towards the apocalyptic, asking the question that seems most pertinent in the project’s entire body of work. What is it that lies at the end of the line drawn by the Lord, deliverance or damnation?"

It's the first single from our upcoming record, power !

"Hoban has described the jesus is the path to heaven project as one exploring the 'effect religious trauma has on the human body,' though it stands apart in how it does this with such a direct engagement with Christian themes. Suffering as the central tenet of existence. Agony and love as the same thing."

a dark devotional for the mothgod
born of the earth, buried in the earth

It is the tension between these concepts which fuels the release, from the way the bright faith of ‘length of my days’ distorts into peculiar noise to the cloistered ‘psalm 39 (mepkin psalter)’, its poignant hush slowly infiltrated by outside sound.

"Amid the chaos of our lives, this sort of sonic space–expressly about peace, expressly about maternal comfort, expressly about going to sleep–is a rare respite, an almost reverent interlude. It’s an unusual, nontraditional form of sonic beauty. I have definitely never covered anything like it. But it struck me, and I wanted you, dear listener, to hear it too."

-Stephen Carradini, Independent Clauses


"A Holy Hour" is an experimental folk album reminiscent of musique concrète, but with an intimacy that allows the listener to feel like part of the music. It is a meditation on ancestry, and considers our place in a world of tradition.
