Independent artist Holy Roller Baby, the rock n’ roll brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Jared Mullins, today releases their new single “Speaking in Tongues.” The new song is the first release from the upcoming LP Smile Like Heaven, out on August 23, 2024.
“Speaking In Tongues” highlights Holy Roller Baby’s ability to create emotional and intricate songs using the ebb and flow of energy to pull the listener in. The song combines classic rock sentiments with modern song writing and production to create an intricate blend of music that spans across decades.
Lead singer and songwriter Jared Mullins says, “‘Speaking in Tongues’ is probably my favourite song I’ve ever written. Something ethereal and magical about it. I hope someday that this applies to a love in my life, but I can’t honestly say it’s inspired by anyone in particular. When we added the Mellotron in the studio and heard it against the vocals I literally wanted to cry it was so moving.”
Holy Roller Baby’s upcoming album Smile Like Heaven, was recorded between Valve Studios, in Dallas, TX and Courtyard Studios in Oxfordshire, England with producer Ian Davenport [Radiohead, Band Of Skulls]. Smile Like Heaven was recorded in one room as the musicians performed live.
Jared says, “I never want the songs to sound the same. I want the sound to be unpredictable and tap into different nuances. Ian is like a band member at this point, and we bounce ideas off each other. The process was comfortable because we had the foundation of the first record.”
Holy Roller Baby will be releasing more new music in 2024 ahead of the release of Smile Like Heaven.
