-MIDLANDS POST-HARDCORE QUINTET RELEASE EP
-SUPPORTING LIVE DATES KICK OFF SOON
Offering up a layer cake of ideas, ambition and thumping conviction, The Hiding Place have at last released EP So This Is Home. Brimming with sumptuous melodies and brazen guitar attacks, the quintet cleverly intersperse their post-hardcore with twinkling moments of downbeat ambiance. “We wanted to write something that we felt sounded like ‘us’,” remarks vocalist Dominic Webber; “Something personal that didn’t feel like it was confined to a particular genre.”
So This Is Home’s sizeable sonic scope was created with the aid of rising producer, Feed The Rhino’s Oz Craggs, at his Folkestone based studio Hidden Track. As Webber recalls: “Oz totally understood where we were coming from with our varied influences; we spent some long days in Hidden Track, but as long as they were, it never felt like a chore working with Oz. We spent time tweaking our sound and setup to make sure that we found the perfect vibe for the EP and when it came to actual performance, he was always ready to push us that bit harder to make sure that we got the best take possible. Our first listen back to the finished product was mind-blowing: it felt like all the hard work had paid off.”
