A month after his first release 'Heavy Love', indie pop storyteller YOKE LORE gives us our second slice of his upcoming EP 'Far Shore' with brand new song 'Hold Me Down.'

Yoke Lore is the most recent project of Adrian Galvin (Poor Remy, Yellerkin) who describes the project as "founded in the essence of human connection". It certainly feels that way with dreamy synths and ethereal, echoing, layers of vocals. It feels like something outside of the everyday norm, a piece of pop from the clouds so to speak.

The track is full of the self awareness that comes from being the son of creatives, a yoga teacher and spending a year meditating in India. 'Hold Me Down' is the kind of song you need to have on hand to give yourself a break from the exhaustively mundane everyday life, so let the outside world disappear for four minutes and twenty nine seconds.
