​Holy Hive (from the album Float Back to You available on Big Crown Records)
Slinky Soul (“Sophia’s Part”). High stepping Funk (“Didn’t You Say”).  Smooth grooves (“Blue Light”) and mysterious rhythms (“Broom”). Holy Hive shuffle Soul and Folk like a magician’s trick on their recent release, Float Back to You. The Brooklyn, New York Folk/Soul trio (Paul Spring – vocals, guitar, Homer Steinweiss - drums, Joe Harrison – bass) present Float Back to You as a playlist stocked with Sweet Soul music. The heavenly falsetto of Paul Spring is given angels wings with the exquisite harp notes of Mary Lattimore in “Oh I Miss Her So”, Holy Hive framing the Float Back to You title track with a solid rhythmic skeleton for the transparent tale of love. 
 
Formed in Minneapolis in 2005, co-founders Paul Spring and Homer Steinweiss began a long-distance friendship that morphed into songwriting. Homer Steinweiss was an NYC-based drummer, focused on studio work after co-founding and touring with Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Float Back to Youshows the dreamy side of Soul, saxophone notes accenting the percolating rhythms of “You Will Always Be My Side Forever” while adding jangly guitar notes to sparkle the air round “Hypnosis” as Holy Hive whisper “Be Thou by My Side” over wandering guitar and bass lines, shepherded by a persistent tambourine rattle.
