"Dams are built to prevent flooding. 
A barrier that inhibits the natural flow. 
Behind each track on 'Holding EP' is a feeling suppressed. 
The learned reflex of emotional control. 
Trying to say the things that need to be said without knowing how. 
Being trapped within our own self-imposed limits.
Or shut out of our ability to reconcile conflict. 
Expressing releases. 
Exposing heals. 
Opening brings us closer to the ones who support us. 
Everything will unravel eventually. 
Holding is only a part the process of liberating."

Recorded bicoastally by Deniro Elliott and Caleb Kruzel between 2015 - 2017, this EP represents a sample of a library of work which has itself been mostly unreleased until now.
