Love. It’s an emotion that rules our lives whether we like it or not. Love is everything in this life and there’s nothing we can do about it. Holding Absence understands, appreciates and adores this sentiment and delves into the murky depths of it on this, their self-titled debut full length. A record ultimately 2 years in the making, it is a body of work that pulls on the heartstrings from all directions with total ease and one that saw vocalist Lucas Woodland pushed to the absolute limit of his emotional capabilities. From the looking back on a love that has diminished due to the effects of mental health (‘Perish’) to the struggles of asking your partner to help you through your darkest of days (‘To Fall Asleep’) all the way through to watching a love you once had burning to a crisp before your very eyes yet still feeling grateful that it even happened (‘Wilt’), ‘This Is Holding Absence’ leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the ebb and flow that is so prominent within the concept of love while maintaining a beautifully desolating atmosphere throughout. Following on from a series of critically celebrated singles that saw them develop a passionate, rampant and devoted fan base in the blink of an eye, the band started work on their debut full length back in February of 2018. Returning to the studio with George Lever who was at the helm of ‘This Is As One’, the band’s split EP with Liverpool’s Loathe, it wouldn’t be completed until August. Off the back of a sudden member change, it was a case of realising that the most beautiful things come from just letting things happen naturally. Though with the uncertainty behind them and once again a full line up, completed by now permanent guitarists Scott Carey and Chris Smitheram, bassist James Joseph and drummer Ashley Green, the band are ready to take the scene by the scruff and make everyone feel just as strongly as they feel. Because after all, that’s what this is all about. To feel is to be human and to be human is the most pure thing we have in this life. By breaking down the barriers of what we feel everyday, Holding Absence are diving into the deepest corners of our psyche and pulling out feelings that we didn’t even know we had the capacity to conjure. In many ways, this band is merely a catalyst for something much bigger than just guitars and bass and drums and words, and that’s something that Lucas has realised more and more as time has gone on.“Someone once came up to me and said that Holding Absence is the sound of every big emotion I have ever felt, all of the happiness and all of the sadness. It made me think that there is so much more to this than just making music.” Artist Holding Absence Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label SharpTone Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Perish Your Love (Has Ruined My Life) Like A Shadow You Are Everything Marigold To Fall Asleep Monochrome A Godsend Last Of The Evening Light Purge Wilt Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Holding Absence and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Holding Absence Holding Absence Metal / Classic Rock | SharpTone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holding Absence Holding Absence £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: SharpTone SKU: 0727361478131 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Holding Absence The Noble Art Of Self Destruction Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | SharpTone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th August 2023 £32.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Holding Absence The Noble Art Of Self Destruction £32.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: SharpTone Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options View Product Quick View Holding Absence Holding Absence Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | SharpTone | 1LP Released 8th March 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holding Absence Holding Absence £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: SharpTone SKU: 0727361478117 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Andrew WK God Is Partying Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Napalm Records Handels GmbH | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th September 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andrew WK God Is Partying £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Napalm Records Handels GmbH SKU: NPR985VINYL Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Toe The Book About My Idle Plot On A Vague Anxiety Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Topshelf | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th January 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Toe The Book About My Idle Plot On A Vague Anxiety £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Topshelf SKU: LPTSR084C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Breeders, The Safari EP Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | 4AD | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 20th November 2018 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Breeders, The Safari EP £11.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: 4AD SKU: 4AD0110T Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 20th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Egyptian Blue A Living Commodity Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | YALA!
