Cellophane is the fifth studio album by Australian indie rock band Holy Holy, released on 22 September 2023 through Wonderlick Entertainment and Sony Music Australia.[2]

Upon announcement on 11 August 2023, Timothy Carroll said "We formulated this idea of Holy Holy as this kind of songwriting factory".[2] Furthermore, via the press release, Holy Holy said the album is about "shedding their inhibitions, alleviating themselves of the weight of expectation, and pushing their sound to new territory."[3]

To promote the release, Holy Holy performed six intimate events across Australia's east coast in September 2023.[4]

At the 2023 J Awards, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[5]

Reception

Steve from Eat This Music said "Each track on the album is a showcase of the band's power to collaborate and experiment" calling the album a "genre-bending masterpiece".[1]
