Holding Absence Delay New Album “Modern Life Is Lonely” To September

Holding Absence have delayed the release of their new album “Modern Life Is Lonely.” The effort will now be released on September 18.

The band commented:

“Holding Absence Family,

We’re very sorry to share that, due to delays in the manufacturing process, our new album, “Modern Life Is Lonely”, will now be released on 18th September rather than the originally planned date of 28th August.

We’re gutted to have to delay the album & sincerely apologise for the disappointment this may cause.

This decision has been made to ensure that every physical edition is delivered as intended & to the standard you deserve.

Before then, the title track, which was a favourite among those who attended our four UK album listening parties, will be released on 21st August.

Thank you for your patience, understanding & continued support ❤️”

The Pineapple Thief Announce New Album “Far And Wide”

The Pineapple Thief have announced a new album titled “Far And Wide.” The effort will be released on October 9 and a video for its opening track, “New World Order,” can be found below:

“Far And Wide” Track Listing:

01. “New World Order”
02. “Hold The Ashes”
03. “Still Living”
04. “God Knows”
05. “The Empty Space”
06. “Scattering Like Flies”
07. “Through The Noise”
08. “Who Wants It”
09. “No Exceptions”

Frontman Bruce Soord commented:

“We realized, for instance, that you don’t need more than two guitar parts at any one time. You know, ‘why have we got four or five guitars? Why have we got six-part harmonies when there’s only three of us singing?’ We deliberately created those constraints, because we thought, ‘we’re a rock band, there’s five of us on stage, this is what we should be about in the studio.’”

Drummer Gavin Harrison added:

“You do start to imagine what a song would look like on a stage, and sometimes that does influence the arrangement. Like, ‘this would be amazing live when we do this, if this section just went into this other thing’, and you can picture it with the lights and the atmosphere on stage.”
