Everything we’ve released so far came through from the cosmic muse, telling us what wanted to ‘be’. The next album is very much an intentional setting-to for a particular sound and theme. It’s really taking shape now.

I made a lonely record… with lots of other people… maybe lonesome is a better word than lonely… for those who wander… and wonder…

We are disappointed to have to pull out of playing at Greenbelt 2025 due to a family issue for one of our team. We hope everyone has a great time at the festival and that we get to play another time.
All shall be well.

Forgot to mention, I saw @heldbytrees.bsky.social in Manchester last Sunday. Phenomenal.

Second time seeing David Joseph and the gang play live. What switched me on to the band originally was David's love for Mark Hollis. He then went and found musicians who played with Mark and formed a band.

We are planning a live compilation taken from many gigs to be released on CD at some point, yes.

Thank you Max in Holland for this very lovely review of Hinterland;

“… despite my principled refusal to turn it into a competition, Hinterland is secretly also my 'best album' candidate for 2025.”

Held By Trees - Solace (2022) #np #vinyl
Had this stored away unplayed so dug out and getting its first play. If you like latter Talk Talk this is for you. Some beautiful sounds and musicianship going on here
