Hold Yourself Up

A four-track burst of technicolor choral pop. Shimmering flutes and massive vocal harmonies create a sense of overwhelming, communal optimism.

It's like a giant hug from twenty people at once while a brass band plays in the background.

An explosion of communal joy and resilient optimism that feels both massive and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive entry of the full choir on the title track that transforms a simple mantra into a wall of sound.
The raw, unpolished energy of the live brass section during the bridge of Bullseye.
The way the audience's cheers blend into the shimmering flute intro of I'm Calling.
