Holding Absence have shared a second track from their upcoming split EP.
Coffin follows Aching Longing, which was unveiled along with details of 'The Lost & The Longing' back in June. The collaborative four-song project with Alpha Wolf is scheduled to arrive on August 15.
Emotionally charged, haunting and atmospheric as the Holding Absence signature sound has become, the song builds to a soaring, anthemic chorus. Commenting on it, vocalist Lucas Woodland said:
"We’re ecstatic to release Coffin today! This song is very much about finding hope in unexpected places, and feels like a real special step forwards for our band. We had the chance to experiment with pianos and ambience more than ever before, but still without compromising the Holding Absence sound. Super hyped for people to hear this one!"
Holding Absence will return to the United States later in August for another round of dates with The Amity Affliction and Silverstein. Head here for details. Alpha Wolf's North American tour, meanwhile, continues through to early September. Head here for dates.
'The Lost & The Longing' tracklist:
1. 60cm Of Steel (Alpha Wolf featuring Holding Absence)
2. Hotel Underground (Alpha Wolf)
3. Aching Longing (Holding Absence featuring Alpha Wolf)
4. Coffin (Holding Absence)
