Eight Arms to Hold You
Eight Arms to Hold You is the second studio album by alternative rock band Veruca Salt. It was released on February 11, 1997, through Outpost/Geffen Records.
The album was produced by Bob Rock. The title is a reference to the working title for the Beatles' film eventually titled Help!
The album was recorded at Wicked Wahine, in Haʻikū, Hawaii. Bob Rock commented: "We ended up throwing my equipment into a house here. And they had such a great time and loved it so much that I just converted a part of my house." Additional recording took place at Chicago Recording Company in Chicago and The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver.
Eight Arms to Hold You peaked at number 55 on the Billboard 200. The single "Volcano Girls", written by Nina Gordon, was a rock radio hit. Veruca Salt performed "Shutterbug", written by Louise Post, on Saturday Night Live. Besides those two, there were three other singles released from the album: "Benjamin", "The Morning Sad", and "Straight".
This was the last album to feature all of the original band members—Gordon, Post, Steve Lack, and Jim Shapiro—until the 2015 album Ghost Notes.
All music is composed by Veruca Salt.
