Holy Sons is a one-man solo band built around American songwriter and drummer Emil Amos.

Amos is notable for releasing "genre-bending" albums, according to LA Weekly music reviewer Chris Martins,[1] and for being a prolific songwriter; one account in Spike Magazine suggests he has written over a thousand songs.

[4] Reviewer Rob Cullivan of the Portland Tribune described Holy Sons' album Survivalist Tales to be an "ode to the dime novels in the early 1900s that peddled the stories of wilderness explorers," and described the music as "sonic wanderings" with "strange song structures".

[5] A review in the Portland Mercury described his music as "dark, languid psychedelia" and commented how Amos has "habitually been kept underground" with few live performances up until the last few years.

Willamette Week described the album Decline of the West as "a varied, meticulously constructed piece of avant-folk that stands alone by its own merits.
