Sweet Bitter Sweet is the sixth studio album by Australian indie rock band Holy Holy, released on 9 May 2025 through Wonderlick Entertainment and Sony Music Australia.[1]
Upon announcement Holy Holy said "Initially, we had planned to record acoustic versions of some of our favourite songs from Holy Holy... But creative chemistry sparked new material too." The album will be split into two sections of five new tracks and seven reimagined tracks.[1]
To promote the release, Holy Holy will perform a 17-day tour across Australia through May and June 2025.[1][3]
A limited edition Record Store Day LP will be released in April 2026.[4]
Sweet Bitter Sweet was preceded by two singles. The lead single "Love You Still" was released on 25 April 2025. Timothy Carroll said the song is "about enduring love - the kind that remains perpetually, even if you never see that person again."[5] The second single, "So Be It" was released on 9 May 2025. Carroll said the song is "about what it feels like to say goodbye – and how strange and uncomfortable that can be."[2]
