WHITE LIES share music video for track Hold Back Your Love.

Hold Back Your Love is taken from the band’s fourth studio album, Friends, released earlier this year.

The perplexity of love life is being served on a multi-layered fusion of infectious synths and precise drum work which, with a help of binding bass lines, bring some dancing moves along.

Directed by David Pablos (‘The Chosen Ones’) the clip beautifully accompanies the track where lead singer Harry McVeigh exposes his emotions as the lyrics “Hold back your love, you know that I’ve had my doubts” tower over.

The band’s very own Charles Cave says of the song:

It’s hard for me to talk about ‘Hold Back Your Love’ in a measured way. We all absolutely love this song. I felt the same after we recorded ‘Death’, ‘Bigger Than Us’, or ‘Big TV’. Call it emotional attachment, or hopefully just a ‘good ear’, this song feels like it confidently sits itself down on the front row of White Lies songs that fall into elusive ‘encore’ territory. I’m struggling to remember how this song came about, which is always a positive feeling as it suggests the process was a totally pleasurable and inspirational one, but I know that it was written quickly and the melodies seemed to do that dreamy thing of writing themselves. I think we were in a ‘Tango In The Night’ state of pop when this song came about, and you can definitely hear that in the middle section. But equally, (and this band has been a huge influence since we were fifteen) there’s a solid Talking Heads stomp that, dare I say it, you can almost dance to!

White Lies are currently touring across the country and there are only two dates left to catch them play live. But fear not, the band will hit the road again in February and March next year.
