Upon announcement on 11 August 2023, Timothy Carroll said "We formulated this idea of Holy Holy as this kind of songwriting factory".[2] Furthermore, via the press release, Holy Holy said the album is about "shedding their inhibitions, alleviating themselves of the weight of expectation, and pushing their sound to new territory."[3]
To promote the release, Holy Holy performed six intimate events across Australia's east coast in September 2023.[4]
At the 2023 J Awards, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[5]
Reception
