• REVIEW: Holding Absence - Modern Life is Lonely | Out Of Rage | Sept. 13, 2026, 6:46 p.m.
Their fourth album, Modern Life Is Lonely, marks a turning point for HOLDING ABSENCE. It abandons introspection and instead confronts the world as it is in 2026: restless, hyperconnected and yet deeply isolating. Lucas Woodland frames the record as a study of modern dissonance, where technology reshapes identity, culture and emotional survival, yet loneliness remains a constant hum beneath the noise. It’s the band’s most outward‑facing statement, dissecting overstimulation, digital claustrophobi
