Hollow Hand is the nom de tune of Brighton, UK based singer-songwriter Max Kinghorn-Mills. Following an exceptional string of self-released 7”s last year, Star Chamber expands on the home brewed folk and psychedelic pop swirl of the artist’s previous work. Think: Kevin Ayers, Robert Wyatt, Syd Barrett, Ray Davies. A home recorded affair, Kinghorn-Mills describes the album as being inspired by “nature, beauty and above all positivity”. All of which sounds pretty good in the manic world that is/was 2018.
Hollow Hand’s debut album is released via Talkshow Records. The album is a celebration of beauty, romance and mythology in history and art. 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. A 2018 album inspired by nature, beauty and above all positivity.
