MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

If you’re in the mood for a retro sound that channels 90s indie rock and flannel shirts, check out Holding Hour’sCome Undone.” Marissa Kephart sings, “Change my shape to fit with you, afraid I would come undone,” capturing a vibe reminiscent of K’s Choice’s sleeper hit “Not An Addict.” Though you might not have heard of K’s Choice, their influence echoes in the nostalgic tones of this track.

Hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, Holding Hour is an indie rock band characterized by their dynamic sound, blending dreampop and shoegaze elements with introspective lyrics. Formed in 2021, the band consists of lead singer and guitarist Marissa Kephart and producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist Scott Yoshimura (The Envy Corps, Canby). The duo has quickly gained attention for their dreamy guitars, lush atmospheric sounds, and vibrant melodies. Influenced by artists like My Bloody Valentine and Yo La Tengo, Holding Hour captivates audiences with their heartfelt songwriting and innovative sound.
