The single joins “Hang Up (Pt. 2)” as one of the first promotional previews of the material that will consist of nine songs. “Holding Cell” stands out for being a track psychedelic rock where the voice of Kenny-Smith provides an energetic touch, resulting in an intense and enveloping proposal that is accompanied by a video co-directed by Kieron Banerji and Callum Baker.
At the beginning of 2025, the band decided to give their sound a twist by integrating, for the first time, various vocalists. Regarding this conceptual change, the bassist Josephine Jonsson He explained that adding guests felt like an organic step to renew the album’s proposal. For her part, the guitarist Serra Petale highlighted the excitement of mixing influences ranging from the cold Swedish winter to the muggy Australian summer, achieving a fusion that leads the group to a new creative universe.
