 Arriving hot on the heels of acclaimed 2022 EP ‘Credit Note’,
‘Absolute Reality’ tackles different themes of social commentary, with fiery lyrics and hard picked guitars, holding both honest confessions and tall tales, lived stories and movie-like landscapes.
 Showcasing the noise and texture that Holiday Ghosts love from the New York punk scene and New Wave era, ‘Vulture’ cemented their flourishing status within the alt-rock scene and laid down a real marker ahead of this LP release.
 Between their last album, ‘North Street Air’, to the present day of ‘Absolute Reality’, Holiday Ghosts have rocked iconic stages throughout the UK and Europe, with notable accomplished slots at the likes of Latitude Festival and Left Of The Dial, as well as support tours alongside acts including Black Lips, Bodega and The Bug Club.
 In addition, the band have attracted widespread praise across the press landscape (The Guardian, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, KEXP, DIY, So Young, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash, Gigwise), and clocked in live sessions / interviews aplenty for BBC 6 Music with key tastemakers (Steve Lamacq, Mark Riley).
