Held By Trees are set to release ‘The Call of Home’ on 2 October 2026, this album is the
follow-up to the critically acclaimed ‘Hinterland’ album but finds the band exploring very
different territory, with the album featuring nine tracks with vocals bookended with two
more familiar instrumental takes, including for the first time on vinyl, Lay Your Troubles
Down with Martin Smith. The album will be released by Tweed Jacket Music on limited Blue
and Orange vinyl, Black vinyl, and CD.
The striking original artwork, so important to Held By Trees, has been originated by @
BlankEmbrace.
‘The Call of Home’ sees a broadening of personnel, with new musical collaborators with
backgrounds as diverse as Radiohead, Primal Scream, Wet Wet Wet and Delirious [Clive
Deamer, Simone Marie, Graeme Duffin, and Martin Smith/Stu Garrard respectively]. With
David Joseph once again are the core band of Robbie McIntosh, Laurence Pendrous, and
Andy Panayi with their shared history with Mark Hollis and Talk Talk, among many others.
Still at his side are James Grant and Grant Howard, continuing a friendship and musical
partnership spanning over two decades now in various forms. David’s key musical mentors
Martin Smith, Jason Upton and Eric Bibb take the vocal mic alongside Simone Marie and
Marc James and, in a departure, David even sings a few himself.
David Joseph said, “I’ve made an album of songs with some of our friends singing. It’s a
love letter to the music of the 80s and 90s, when I was a youngster falling in love with music
through my parent’s records and cassettes, and what I heard on the radio and on Top of
the Pops. It’s on the theme of coming home; to reunion, redemption and the warming of the
heart through sounds and stories.
This album is a labour of love on many levels, a branching out of what this project is and
can be. Over nine songs, bookended with two instrumentals, I hope all who listen find their
way home to an embrace that this music can offer the soul.”
Held By Trees is a journey in itself and ‘The Call of Home’ offers new sonic vistas to explore,
whilst retaining the heart and hearth of what makes this band special.
