These ten multi-faceted compositions are sensitively layered with sumptuous and sweeping instrumentation. Its tonal palette is enhanced by a rich palette of emotive guitar melodies, soft percussion and wistful flourishes of pedal steel, piano and violin. Recorded live over five-days with Brendan Jenkinson (Aoife Nessa Frances, John Francis Flynn, Villagers) in Sonic Studios, Dublin, Ireland, Pulling At The Briars was produced by Conor O’Brien (Villagers), Hedderman’s close childhood friend, and former bandmate in The Immediate.

These are quiet, unhurried songs about intimacy and perception, about how two people can share the same moment and remember it differently, lit throughout by a dry humour that keeps them honest. Led by the single "Illinois Again," it is an album that doesn't rush to explain itself, and is all the more rewarding for it. For anyone who loves Feist, Aldous Harding or Laura Marling.
