Single Focus: Hounded

"The track is about love, loss, joy, happiness."

Answered by: Edan Visser

Single title? Hollow

What's the song about? The track is about love, loss, joy, happiness and the duality of it.

How long did it take to write/record? Took about four months of back and forth writing to finish. As mentioned above, it was a tough one to finish because I really had to step outside my comfort zone of writing 'happy' music.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? I was listening to a lot of albums from bands like Sigur Ros and Coldplay.

We'll like this song if we like... Mansionair, Panama, Odesza, Petit Biscuit, Shallou, Sigur Ros.

Do you play it differently live? I play it the same, but try and add more live elements instead of the synths that I've used in the recording to make it a little more engaging.

When and where is your launch/next gigs? I'm doing a small run of intimate shows in march to support the record. Namely in places like Sydney, Wollongong and Perth.
