MEDEDELING !!
Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

| Omschrijving | Held By Trees is a new instrumental project
featuring some of the most respected musicians in
the British rock fraternity. Sitting between post-
rock and prog, the outfit led by David Joseph
release their debut album ‘Solace’ in April 2022.
Boasting seven veterans of the seminal latter Talk
Talk and Mark Hollis solo albums, other
contributors include Tim Renwick (Guitar - Pink
Floyd, David Bowie, Eric Clapton), Mike Smith (Sax
- Blur, Damon Albarn, Gorillaz), David Knopfler
(Guitar - Dire Straits founding member), Gary
Alesbrook (Trumpet - Noel Gallagher, Kasabian,
Super Furry Animals) as well as parts from
blues/roots legend, Eric Bibb, Dutch rising-star,
Just, and ambient composer, Unknown Replica.
After establishing themselves with pop hits such
as ‘It’s My Life’ and ‘Life’s What You Make It’,
Talk Talk, led by Mark Hollis and producer, Tim
Friese-Greene, broke new musical ground, defining
what would later be termed as ‘post-rock’ with
their seminal album, ‘Spirit of Eden’ (1988).
Three years later they returned with ‘Laughing
Stock’. Part of that creative process was to
invite musicians they respected in to improvise on
their arrangements. Guitarist Robbie McIntosh
(Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, John Mayer),
drummer/percussionist Martin Ditcham (Chris Rea,
The Waterboys, Nik Kershaw), bassist Simon Edwards
(Michael Jackson, Billy Bragg, Fairground
Attraction) all took part in those sessions, and
have now contributed to ’Solace’. A solo record
from Mark Hollis followed in 1998 which featured
pianist Lawrence Pendrous, and
flautist/Clarinettist Andy Panayi, both of whom
have also now played for Held By Trees.
Engineering all of these albums, as well as
classics like John Martyn’s ‘One World’, is Phill
Brown, with Denis Blackham mastering them. Phill
and Denis have kindly come out of retirement to
mix and master this debut album from Held By
Trees.
‘Solace’ was made using a similar approach to
‘Spirit of Eden’ and ‘Laughing Stock’, with David
Joseph inviting musicians to improvise over his
rhythm patterns and chord progressions. Blending
in his own spontaneous compositions and field
recordings made in Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset,
the result is a unique album that carries the DNA
of the seminal Talk Talk records, and yet stands
in its own identity.
‘Solace’ is a work that revels in the natural
world. At once both melancholic and hopeful, the
album is purposefully full of space, tension and
release, and music that demands patient listening.
The project celebrates nature, not just through
the music and artwork (including a motif from Talk
Talk’s artistic partner, James Marsh), but by
partnering with Play It Green, a real tree is
planted for each album sold. Held By Trees thereby
removes more carbon from the atmosphere than it
produces.
