“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” I don’t know if BOA ever went through a Camus phase at college, but they seem to have channelled some of the goalkeeper’s poignant spirit into their music. Freshly signed to indie label Hand In Hive – the folks who also brought us Drunken Werewolf favourites Saltwater Sun – the band have just unleashed their debut single, “Holier”. And boy, is it a dazzler.
