Holy Boy is the musical moniker of LA based, Norwegian-born alternative artist Helene Alexandra Jæger. Taking cues from artists like Suicide, The Shangri-Las and David Lynch, Holy Boy's arrangements are sparse yet atmospheric - Jæger's old soul contralto pushed through haunting vocal effects floats over primal drums and vintage organs.

Her debut EP of "explorations in consciousness" was recorded at Ben Hillier’s (Depeche Mode, The Horrors, Blur++) Pool Studios in London and released to acclaim, with single “The Blood Moon” being premiered on BBC Radio 1 and Holy Boy performing at festivals including CMJ, NXNE and SXSW.

Holy Boy's first full length album is due 2019.
