Despite the fact that it includes the track “Winter, Don’t Let Go,” For Those Who Stay is very much an album of spring. More specifically, it’s about the emergence into spring after a long winter, which has been chronicled month by month, track by track by Hollie Kenniff.
The first two singles appeared in December, the second two in January (including the winter track), followed by one in February, one in early March, and finally the full eleven track album the first week of spring.
We have been anxiously awaiting this set (ironically, one track is titled, “The World Can Wait”), whose tracks are now presented in a different order, telling a complete story, although we also appreciated the chapter-by-chapter reveal.

The music is calm, the cover is calm, the effect is calm. After releasing four singles over the course of spring, Harbors (Hollie Kenniff & Goldmund) released When We Are Free in the heart of summer. But from what does one yearn to be freed? The answers may vary from person to person, from the physical to the emotional. Having unveiled the stellar For LA project earlier this year, the Kenniffs are keenly aware of the threats posed by prejudice, callous government and fire. Their music – whether solo or duo – has always promoted peace, but has seldom been so intentional. The liner notes suggest the music as the backdrop to everyday activities, while promoting the practice of mindfulness; and the moniker implies safe harbors. Nothing will hurt you here.
