Building on the excellent foundations laid down by the band's eponymous debut record, released in 2019, and following standalone singles 'Gravity' and 'Birdcage', the four-piece have returned with a group of songs that, in the view of vocalist Lucas Woodland, are the truest representation of Holding Absence to date. Holding Absence - the band completed by bassist James Joseph and drummer Ashley Green - carry the 'The Greatest Mistake of My Life's' contemplative and thoughtful spirit throughout their second album. Whereas their debut was a concept record about the subject of love, 'The Greatest Mistake of My Life's' inspirations are more complex, as Holding Absence stare down love in the face of death, all the while musing on the vast array of emotions we as humans experience throughout our lives.
