Singer-Songwriter Royal Holland Releases New Single "The Sky Kingdom Descending" from Forthcoming Double LP Royal & Vär vs. the Sky Kingdom!

Royal Holland has launched a pre-order campaign to help fund the pressing of the first Royal Holland LP "Royal Holland and the Rotation - Eternal Return".

Royal Holland recently visited Leesta Vall Sound Recordings in Brooklyn, NY to record an in office live-to-vinyl session with engineer and owner of Leesta Vall Aaron Zimmer. The session took the course of a Saturday afternoon finding Holland and 3 members of backing band The Rotation (Freedom Nicole Moore, Matt Retherford and Charlie Smith) crammed into a tiny Brooklyn office space. The results of the session were 12 unique takes of 4 different Royal Holland songs (Demimonde, The Grave, Statues and Shore) cut in real time to vinyl record on a lathe that was made in the 1950’s.
