Released March 28, 2025
HOB 080
Holly Throsby’s lyrical, beautifully wrought, musical catalog would include previously CD-only albums two, three, and four – “Under the Town”, “A Loud Call”, and “Team”. Now all available on wonderful vinyl.
A songwriter, musician and novelist. Holly Throsby is the author of three books and has released five solo albums, a collection of original children’s songs, and two records as part of the band, Seeker Lover Keeper. Throsby’s early records unsurprisingly still carry the restraint of a writer’s ear. An intimate rawness, regardless of full-band or solo guitar, so close that you cannot shake the sense their music was made just for you. There’s pain, gleeful splashes of happiness, and laced with a clear but never over-stated sadness.
