press release:
“between these hands” harley loudon’s new release is a passionate powerful exploration of power, and the energy "between these hands," manipulated from birth to death and the loss of Spirit. Asaf Avidan's song is re-explored, recorded live at Castlesound Studio, recorded by the brilliant Stuart Hamilton, then mixed and engineered by the brilliant Phil Lee, with harley singing into Castlesound's beautiful old Bosendorfer grand piano creating harmonics, adding accordian, additional vocals alchemising into a fierce rendition reflecting this crazy dystopian world - reminding us with breath we carry life, and we have heart and spirit to give and develop treasures of the heart carried between our hands... or... create nothing but destruction and return to dust.
