More about ‘Hold Me’

“Hold Me started off as sort of a folk song, we had it a folk demo of it around a year before we recorded it. Grace always loved the song, but for some reason it wasn’t quite what we needed it to be. We stopped playing it altogether because it didn’t feel right. One night I had a shot of inspiration and in 5 minutes came up with a really basic demo. We started to play it live again and 3 weeks later, went into the studio to record it. It was a year of waiting for the right moment of inspiration, I don’t think we could have recorded it the way we did any sooner” – Aaron Birch, Guitarist, Joan & The Giants.

Recorded at: Pavement Studios, Perth, Western Australia…. Produced by: Aaron Birch, Grace Newton-Wordsworth, Riley Sutton & Lance Robinson
