Holy Water · Tune In
Holy Water is a Sacramento-based "gothwave" project blending post-punk, darkwave, electronica, and alternative rock. Started in 2019 by Jacob Desrochers to pair heavy, dance-forward electronic beats with dreamy shoegaze guitar, it also features Hong Kong native Ian Smith; both are veterans of the Northern California punk/hardcore scene (The Lonely Kings, Pregnant Men, Ways Away, Racquet Club). They released the EP Life Less Charming (December 2023) and the debut full-length Tides (November 2024), a ten-song set exploring loss, love, anger, addiction, and forgiveness, and have toured the West Coast and UK alongside acts such as Soft Kill and Cold Cave.
