Hailaker - Holding (April 24, 2020) Album

Finally listening to this, it’s beautiful as expected. S/o @sean_rugy for introducing them to me last year.

 

RIYL: Bon Iver, all that acoustic folksy stuff that I post about and 2-3 people dig

 

i somehow missed this! this is so good.

 

decent - first album is good too

 

yeah, I like this is a ton but the first LP is something special imo

 

attica is so good

 

Big, big fan of their stuff.

"Not Much" from their last record is one of my favorite songs of all time.

 

This is so good!

 

I really like this, its my new bike riding album

I don't hear Bon Iver though personally, I hear a more melody-focused Copeland with female vox

Alumni is a standout for me

Edit: I was wrong - heavy Bon Iver vibes especially on their first album

 

this isn't on vinyl anywhere is it? can't seem to find it.

 

putting together my eoty list and this is easily up there for me

 

I gotta revisit this

 

hailaker + s. carey + produced by novo amor

❤️

 

It’s expectedly great. A little busier than their usual stuff but by the end you can tell S Carey fits in perfectly, their harmonies are unreal

 

honestly just inject all of this style of music right into my veins and I love how they all collab together

 

Wavepool would sound at home on Bombay Bicycle Club’s So Long, See You Tomorrow

 

I dig this one

 

This band should be more popular here, their style is so appealing

After many long listens though I actually prefer their self-titled album to Holding - it had this atmospheric quality about it, whereas Holding seemed to go in more of a folk-chamber pop direction if that make sense, a lot more piano/orchestral based writing where Hailaker was more autotune/synths/drum machines and it worked for their minimal style

Ah well whatever it is I am glad I found this band on this website

 

@trevorshmevor @OhTheWater @Leftandleaving

Jemima Coulter has a solo album coming! single was out today.

 

Oh word! Liking that single a lot!

 

again, mixed mixed by Ali Lacey (Novo Amor) who also just announced US dates

stand by this little collective of artists making precisely what I want to hear right now. Ed Tullet, who is the other half of Hailaker jusr released the first single of s nee project called Lissom.

 

SST is such a fucking jam

 

whoa

 

Ed Tullet aka Lowswimmer and the other half of Hailaker quietly put out two absolutely stellar albums. this little collective of musicians including Novo Amor just get me.
