Holes in the Wall

Holes in the Wall is the debut studio album by The Electric Soft Parade, released on 4 February 2002.

The album features a wide array of sounds, ranging from hard-edged guitar rock (namely "Start Again" and "Why Do You Try So Hard to Hate Me"), anthemic pop (the epic "Silent to the Dark"), and somber acoustic tracks like "It's Wasting Me Away".

Prior to the album's release, the band issued the double A-side singles "Silent to the Dark"/"Something's Got to Give" on 30 April 2001, "Empty at the End"/"Sumatran" on 23 July 2001, and "There's a Silence" (with the B-sides "On the Wires" and "Broadcast") on 29 October 2001.

Another double A-side single, "Empty at the End"/"This Given Line", was released on 20 May 2002 and charted at number 39 in the UK.

Meyer further hailed, "The White brothers also have ear-catching production on their side, giving their album true flavor by infusing it with splashes of electronics and keyboards, psychedelic swirl, and the occasional irregular time signature.
