BIO
Holy Boy is the musical moniker of Los Angeles artist Helene Alexandra Jæger. Taking sonic cues from a broad palette of creative influences, including the industrial drone of Suicide, the dark side of the 60s, vintage girl bands and modern production Holy Boy describes her sound as “neon gothic” – showing the world through a dark, ghostly lens.
Arrangements are sparse yet atmospheric – Jæger’s old soul contralto pushed through haunting vocal effects
floats over vintage organs.
