David Holmes: new single, new album, on tour and on TV

Northern Irish DJ David Holmes is releasing his fourth solo album The Holy Pictures on September 8th. This follows the first single off the album, 'I Heard Wonders', release on August 25th.

The Holy Pictures has been long in the making, with the release of 2 other full-lengths since the new release's conception in 1996. Holmes says:
"The story of this album really began on the 4th of August 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."
