The Holy Family are the latest band from David J Smith (Guapo, The Stargazers Assistant, Miasma & The Carousel Of Headless Horses) and features long time cohorts Kavus Torabi (Cardiacs, Gong, The Utopia Strong, Knifeworld, Guapo), Emmitt Elvin (Chrome Hoof, Knifeworld, Guapo), Sam Warren (Guapo, Thumpermonkey) and Michael J York (Coil, Current 93, The Utopia Strong, Teleplasmiste, Guapo, The Stargazers Assistant, Cyclobe). The band originally came together as Guapo to improvise new material in an old country house in England but it quickly became apparent that this was not a Guapo album.
David J Smith - "I guess if I had to try to put it into words it's my attempt at a musical interpretation of a very trippy and psychedelic murder mystery tale, or otherworldly dream / hallucination".
The band have explored a broad range of style across kosmiche, psyche, electronica, zeuhl, acid folk. It's a heady shamanic trip across altered states that grooves and rocks. From: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=11898
