Simple to be fake
Simple to delay
Pulled down I may break
Pulled down out the way

See how I know
See how I explain
Let go my shadow
Let go my chain.

When the light shines over me
And the dog is gone

In our love
In your love
In our love
In your love

I am your fate
I am your cliche
In the broken state
In the life astray

Before you go
Before you crash
Look up you will know
Look up don’t be rash

When the light shines over me
And the dog is gone

In our love
In your love
In our love
In your love

Hold my hand
Hold my hand

Rewire

02 Hold My Hand

Soul-stirring Americana, a cinematic take on folk-blues that is a balm for the broken hearted and a swoon-inspiring delight for the lovers.

From darkness and loss,  hangovers were left behind for the peace of sobriety for duo Victoria Bourne and Chris Harper. In the last year the duo became sober and bounced back from two close friends suicides and Victoria’s own depression. Confronted with so much existential angst. Last year became a springboard for change going back to their roots of electronica and acoustic sounds.

“We’re doing what we love best, creating sad, romantic, cinematic music”

The electronics are an integral part of the band both on the recordings and live. Not to replace musicians but to be a musician in their own right. 

They host gigs in venues as diverse as a graveyards, gothic churches and cinemas. This is two people sounding like a 40 piece ensemble.

They are two highly experienced professional musicians who have been played widely across the radio including having been playlisted on BBC Radio 2, they have toured extensively across the UK and in Europe.

“It’s an album that meshes electronica and acoustic instruments seamlessly, creating an intricate soundscape for Bourne’s expressive vocals”
– Louder Than War

“I’m very excited to have discovered Hangover Square’s music. Their second album is a triumph of the personal and the experimental, delivering a journey in which one can easily become lost. The mix of Americana and electronica on display is simply stunning” 
– York Calling

'Absolutely stunning, I’ve played them numerous times over and over again’ -- Rick Stuart Roots and Fusion
