The video created by filmmaker and video artist Sapphire Goss for the opening track to forthcoming album, Goss took the ideas behind ‘I will hold that hand for you’ and created a cold, metallic, liquid dystopian landscape held together by the warming sentiment at the heart of the song. Inspired by sculptor Harriet Hosmer and her piece Clasped Hands of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Ganya strives for community in an ever-isolated existence. “What we aspire to is to have human connection,” she explains. “I was drawn to this idea of setting the truth of something before it collapses. Setting this connection in stone.” Through staccato percussion and fluttering electronica, “I will hold that hand for you” pierces through the veil of societal stagnation.
