Ramona Falls - Fingerhold

Ramona Falls "Fingerhold" Reminds me of the excellent 2004 movie Primer , except I actually understood what was happening in "Fingerhold" the first time through.

Dark and highly emotional I have been enjoying its charms a lot recently. Thankfully we now have a new video for one of the better songs from the album. It's [...]

We now have a new video for stand out track "Fingerhold".
