Hollow Hand ‘Star Chamber’ LP. Produced by Pan Anders & Atlas Shrugs at Cosmic Ocean.
Bio Hollow Hand releases new single Made Up My Mind on August 17th. Hailing from Brighton, the project is spearheaded by Max Kinghorn-Mills. Occupying a space between Super Furry Animals and Soft Machine – Hollow Hand’s debut album is set for release in October 2018, via Talkshow Records. 2018 is a complex and scary place. Kinghorn Mills finds salvation in art “I’m probably trying to divert my mind from the negative impacts of modernity. Maybe because I just can’t really handle it” he explains. The resulting music is an attempt at empowerment: a distraction from the pernicious and the perilous. The album is a celebration of beauty. “I try to surround myself with beautiful objects, art, music, stories & ideas because I’m trying desperately to find happiness and navigate my way through life safely.. fantasy has always been a huge attraction for me, romance and mythology in history & art” he continues. Anger has always been a natural response to injustice. But the work of Syd Barrett, The Grateful Dead (both acts who have influenced Hollow Hand) and countless other artists in the 1960s/1970s demonstrate how revolt can be achieved through aesthetics as well as the primal. An entirely DIY project, the album was recorded at the bottom of a leafy garden, a home-made studio pieced together by three friends. Nature plays a crucial role in Hollow Hand’s sound. As Kinghorn-Mills explains, “When I recorded the album we were literally affected by the elements, the changing of the seasons.
