The albums that had the most influence on The Call of Home…

Held By Trees @heldbytrees.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

The Call of Home is absolutely purposefully written as a response to these unpredictable and often worrying times. I deeply hope it brings some crumbs of comfort.

Today marks 1 year since our 2nd album, Hinterland, was released. Being a record themed on the in-between, it is fitting that the anniversary falls on the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The album was a partnership with artist Gareth Hayward. Here is another of his works for the album.

Today this amazing guitar was reunited with Robbie, who played it on some of Mark Hollis’ self-titled solo album, released in 1998. Here’s Rob reminding himself of the chords for The Daily Planet. It’s quite a wonderful instrument, with stories still to tell. #heldbytrees #markhollis

Time to reveal another contributor to our 2nd album. Norman Westberg is a pioneer of guitar with stunning ambient solo work, and with iconic New York no-wave band, Swans. If you love ambient music, I recommend his work; find on bandcamp/streaming platforms. #heldbytrees #normanwestberg #swans

Huge appreciation to each person who came to see us play on our mini-tour the last few weeks. Meeting our audience is always exciting. We don’t yet know exactly when we will be playing again but we do want to come to the north/Scotland next year as a priority. With gratitude, David #heldbytrees
