pleased to see that we’ve charted Hinterland on the download and indie charts this week. thank you to everyone who preordered and ordered the album this week. All of this without being on streaming platforms yet, because music should be owned not rented. Gratitude, faith, love. #heldbytrees

A few shots from last night’s launch. Unfortunately we were too busy celebrating to take many photos! Thanks to all who came, it was the perfect way to give Hinterland a good send off into the world.

Today this amazing guitar was reunited with Robbie, who played it on some of Mark Hollis’ self-titled solo album, released in 1998. Here’s Rob reminding himself of the chords for The Daily Planet. It’s quite a wonderful instrument, with stories still to tell.
