“The attitude of the album is definitely DIY,” says Max Kinghorn-Mills of Hollow Hand’s 3rd album. “About just doing everything yourself and not needing to rely on anyone. That's the one thing I love about doing this: no one has any answers for you, you are your own boss and it's your own adventure. It's down to you.”

This liberating personal juncture in Kinghorn-Mills’ life also coincided with a musical one. After releasing, and learning from, two albums, 2015’s Ancestral Lands and 2018’s Star Chamber, he was able to gain a better sense of where he wanted to go next musically. “Ancestral Lands is a raw sounding album which I made in the bedroom of a house I rented with other musician friends,” he says. “Star Chamber was recorded at the bottom of a garden in a shed at my Dad’s and was the combined efforts of three very close friends - a huge step up in terms of arrangements and instrumentation. This new album is a middle ground between the two - reclaiming the naivety and playful aspects of an earlier time but only really being possible after having spent time collaborating and evolving.”
