Out Friday 8th May 2026 with an extremely limited vinyl run, Te Whanganui-a-Tara’s crooked alt-rock Menzies arrive with their debut album Holding My Cold Hand, Even Though Yours Is Warm.
Likened to Black Country New Road, MJ Lenderman and The Mutton Birds, Menzies offer something quietly rare: a highly anticipated debut album that feels exciting, deeply original, charming, fully formed and unmistakably their own.
Holding My Cold Hand, Even Though Yours Is Warm threads angular guitars through crooked alt-rock nostalgia, underscored by a backbone of can’t-help-but-sing-them-later melodies. Real-life storytelling sits at the heart of the record; scenes of trays of sausage rolls, romantic feelings towards All Blacks, ferry crossings, Suzy Cato, a face-full of mashed potato. This is an album that lingers long after the final note, choruses echoing back like memories you’re not quite done with.
Menzies deliver a debut that is deeply personal, wildly universal, and impossible to ignore.
