“[Hold Fast] marks the follow-up to their 2015 debut The Bliss, though the band did also release a Christmas EP in 2016 that caught the ear of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Hold Fast was produced, engineered and mixed by Daniel Ledwell at Echo Lake in Nova Scotia, then mastered by Phil Demetro at Lacquer Channel in Toronto. It features songwriting collaborations from Canadian heavyweights Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea, Tim Baker of Hey Rosetta! and Meg Warren of Repartee. Jim Bryson, the Good Lovelies, Alexa Dirks, Mike Belyea and Kinley Dowling were also enlisted for additional musical contributions.”  -Exclaim!
