Today Hong Kong dreampop 5 piece band Lucid Express dropped Hollowers which features Adam Honingford of The Bilinda Butchers.
The second single is taken from their self-titled debut which comes out on July 16, 2021 via Kanine Records and Middle Class Cigars.
Another great dreamy hazy alterna-dream pop tune.
About the track:
“Hollowers”, a nod to doomed infatuation that sees the band exploring some of the darkest corners of their shimmering, bright dream pop sound. Amongst “Hollowers” arpeggiated synth lines, and crashing chords, singer Kim Ho details the gnawing realization that even if two people have all of the passion in the world, a lack of deeper understanding leaves a relationship with finite time on the clock.
The song is also notable for its chorus featuring Adam Honingford of San Franciscan group The Bilinda Butchers, making it the one collaborative track on the Lucid Express album. The band first met Honingford when they shared a bill on the Hong Kong stop of a Bilinda Butchers tour and have remained mutual fans since. As Kim says, “from the first time we heard Adam on stage in Hong Kong, we always wanted to ask him to sing on one of our songs.” During the Lucid Express writing sessions, “Hollowers” began to take shape as a song that might offer the perfect opportunity to join forces. The result is a track that delivers some of the most brooding and dramatic passages on the entire album; Honingford’s distant baritone at stark play with Kim’s airy delivery.
Hollowers gets:
/10.
