HOLY WIRE // SNOWBEASTS

Holy Wire is an Austin-based electronic/post-punk project led by Alain Paradis. Blending analog modular synths with live instrumentation, their sound draws from ’80s new wave, synth-pop, and post-punk influences like Depeche Mode, LCD Soundsystem, and The Chromatics. Known for their analog-driven aesthetic and a rotating live lineup featuring members of DAIISTAR, Pelvis Wrestley, and Cloud Champion, Holy Wire brings a dynamic energy to Texas’ vibrant underground scene.

Snowbeasts is the collaborative project of Robert Galbraith and Elizabeth Virosa, known for crafting haunted synth-driven experimental electronics. Their sound evokes a shadowy atmosphere, blending ominous cinematic ambiance with dark, emotionally resonant harmonies. Intermittent bursts of modular squelches and lumbering, tectonic beats punctuate their immersive compositions, creating a sense of beautiful unease. With a focus on texture, tension, and mood, Snowbeasts summon sonic landscapes that feel both ritualistic and futuristic — a fusion of cold industrial grit and ethereal dreamstates.
