Big Crown Vaults Vol. 3 - Holy Hive
Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Grey Tape Coloured Vinyl. Featuring musical contributions from El Michels Affair, The Shacks, Fleet Foxes & more.
Holy Hive released two full length albums and one EP in the short span of 3 years and then they decided to disband. In 2019, while recording their debut album world renown harpist Mary Lattimore was in NY. They got together in the studio on a whim and wound up recording their Harping EP in a few days. They followed that up with their 2020 full length debut Float Back To You which became an instant cult classic and defined their unique āFolk Soulā sound. Frontman Paul Springās tender falsetto and maverick guitar playing over Homer Steinweissā incomparable drumming and production proved to be a match made in heaven and created a sound that piqued the ears and charmed the hearts of all those who heard it. By the time they started recording their sophomore album COVID, commitments, and life started taking their toll on the band.
Spring and Steinweiss took their sound and pushed it way forward on their eponymous 2nd album keeping the anchor of their sound they established while exploring where else they could take it.

Big Crown Vaults Vol. 3 : Holy Hive digs into the treasure trove of unreleased recordings and pulls some that never saw their way to vinyl and in all honesty, this is not even half of what is in there. These recordings were made during their two album sessions largely, some were recorded before they even signed to Big Crown. The compilation kicks off with the tune that started it all on the label, their smashing cover of The Invincibles āThis Is My Storyā that was previously only on a 7ā. āLove It Is Not Loveā, āMiddle Of The Nightā, āCelesteā, and their cover of āKingdom Of The Sunā all feature guest vocals by Shanny of The Shacks who had started playing bass with them at their live shows and sitting in on a lot of the recording sessions. āThe Shameā features Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes on bass and El Michels Affair on flute, the latter also plays on āA Perfect Spaceā. At one point in time the would turn the live show over to Paul Spring who would perform the Irish folk tune āRed Is The Roseā in a traditional style with just him singing and playing acoustic guitar and then launch into their rendition of the song that is on Float Back To You. That stripped down version is featured here on Vaults Vol. 3. The comp finishes poetically with āEnd Of Timeā and it is unlikely that we will ever release the rest of what is sitting in the vault.
