Pressing Specifications
Who Is David Hedderman?
David Hedderman co-founded the band The Immediate in the early 2000s alongside childhood friend Conor O'Brien, who went on to achieve wider recognition fronting Villagers. While O'Brien pursued music, Hedderman built a successful career as a visual artist, known for vibrant portrait work with richly textured backdrops, relocating from Dublin to Berlin in the mid-2000s. Throughout this time, he continued writing songs privately, eventually inviting fellow Berlin based musicians into his Kreuzberg studio for regular sessions that would inform his eventual debut.
About Pulling At The Briars
Written across roughly fifteen years and recorded live over several sessions with engineer Brendan Jenkinson at Sonic Studios, Pulling At The Briars was produced by O'Brien, reuniting the two Immediate bandmates nearly two decades on. The ten track album is built from rich, layered instrumentation, including pedal steel, violin and soft percussion, exploring themes of transience, belonging and the passage of time as Hedderman processed his own move from Dublin to Berlin in his twenties. Tracks like Blue Jeans channel the influence of Gram Parsons, while the instrumental In Your Own Way, a tune Hedderman first began writing the day he left Dublin, took sixteen years to reach its final form.
