Hollow Hand reveals plans for new album, Wish Road South

Wish Road South follows Hollow Hand's 2023 album Your Own Adventure, as well as a busy period which saw him collaborating with the likes of Caitlin Rose and Aoife Nessa Frances, as well as supporting MJ Lenderman during a European tour stint. "Here Are The Tulips" arrives today as a folk-pop preview of his next chapter, alongside a self-directed music video.

Wish Road South was recorded in a Brighton studio space with drummer Oliver Newton and bassist Leo Clarke, and saw him lean away from the solitude of bedroom production to connect more with a band. “With three of us being involved from the beginning, and all invested in it together, it feels like a group effort, which is a new thing for us,” Kinghorn-Mills comments. “Our studio became really important as a creative space and, while it’s not Abbey Road, we were really able to up the production value.”

Speaking about the album in greater detail, Kinghorn-Mills explains: “There are some songs where the lyrics are pretty painful or extremely personal, there's a lot of fragility, but I like lyrics that entertain me. They don't have to be complicated to make you think and feel something. I like the simplification of talking about what's happening to me day-by-day.”
