All the way back in 2012 Holy Balm released It’s You before touring the US. Fast forward a couple of years and Activity was released last August by Chapter this was produced in-house and then engineered by Jonathon. Favourite lyrical track Fashion was accompanied by sax from guest Marcus Whale. 2017 brings Holy Balm back again with their free form dancing vibes with another release, Activity Mixes.

With faint echoes of their 2012 album, Holy Balm is bringing both previous albums together with Activity Mixes. The 12” vinyl featuring their 2016 album remixed into new versions that will be just as much loved as the last. Alongside Holy Balm, Melbourne artist Andras and Zanzibar Chanel have pitched in with Hot Cold and Circumstance respectively, with the States’ boogie man Moon B contributing to All Night Long.
