EXCLUSIVE; Holychild Signs to Glassnote, Preps Debut EP and Album

Before it seemed like it would be their reality, Liz Nistico and Louie Diller of the Los Angeles duo Holychild perfected pop stardom as a state of mind. The pair, who met in 2011 when Diller served as a guest musician in Nistico's dance class at George Washington University, used to draft five-month plans for the career of their dreams — outlining goals for wardrobes, music videos and live performances. When labels weren't showing any interest, Holychild developed a tendency toward professionalism and polish that challenged the expectations of a DIY group with no real connections to the music industry.

Holychild has finished recording its debut EP, "Mind Speak," which will be accompanied by a conceptual video trilogy — directed by Nistico — when it arrives in March. The videos will trace the stages of objectification experienced by a central female character, from empowerment to insecurity and emotional desolation.

In the spring, the band has several dates lined up for SXSW, which will be followed by touring and festival appearances including Firefly fest in June. A still-untitled full-length album, to be produced by Diller, is in the works for fall.

"So much has happened the past year with us struggling working day jobs and trying to do everything ourselves," Nistico says. "Now that we actually have people helping us and are working on our art fulltime, I can't even imagine what's next."
