Biography
Nations By The River formed during the Gelbison/The Sleepy Jackson tour of early 2003, when Luke Steele (Sleepy Jackson) and Edo Kahn (Gelbison) started jamming and writing songs in a car park after misplacing their van's keys.[2] Dove Kahn soon joined in and Nations By The River was established as a side project for the three.[3] Ohad Rein (Old Man River) and Edo Kahn co-wrote the song "Lovers", and shortly after Ohad joined the group.[3]
The album was recorded in three days[4] as a stripped-back and live experience with engineer/co-producer Scott Horscroft (Sun, The Husbands).[5] In the studio, Nations were joined by friends and local musicians, including Sarah Blasko and Hamish Stuart.[6] The album, Holes in the Valley, was released 7 June 2004 on EMI/Virgin, and distributed overseas on Astralwerks. In July 2005 the album was also released in the United States on the Astralwerks label.[7]
