ESSIE HOLT TEAMS UP WITH LANKS FOR THE SUBTLY GRIPPING ‘DISTANT PLACES’

Subtle yet devastating, Essie Holt reveals a different side to her songwriting on new single ‘Distant Places ft LANKS’.

Written in an hour the sombre tune is a dynamic shift featuring only vocals and piano but packs no less of a punch. Essie’s beautifully hopeless and melancholic voice quickly swells with LANKS’ rich tone, contrasting with the bright piano before returning to the dark stagnant notes it began with; the perfect heartbreak soundtrack.

Essie describes the track as “My most personal and raw song yet.” Continuing,”At the time I was going through a breakdown of a relationship that I was bursting to write about and get those feelings out. It’s my favourite thing I’ve ever written.”

Already winning over media, the single was chosen as part of triple j unearthed X NIDA film clip competition that premiered on Rage on October 6th.Subtle yet devastating, Essie Holt reveals a different side to her songwriting on new single ‘Distant Places ft LANKS’.
