Many Rooms is the moniker of Brianna Hunt whose music is often said to parallel the likes of such artists as Daughter, Damien Rice, Mazzy Star, and Iron and Wine.

The haunting and beautiful works are ever-present in the newly released track “Hollow Body”, which is also the title track from her recently released long player.

MANY ROOMS – ” Hollow Body EP “

Many Rooms is Brianna Hunt and she released her debut, six track EP Hollow Body right at the end of 2015. It gained nowhere near the sort of attention it should have, perhaps because of that scheduling and hopefully news of a vinyl press that is set to follow via Other People Records should change that.

The opening track “The Father Complex” is devastating from the outset, an outpouring of inner turmoil delivered by little other than the pained circles of a ringing guitar, haunting vocals and space yet it sounds so sophisticated and so beautiful that however intense and bruised it may be, it’s a journey you’ll want to take over and over again (though be prepared to go through feelings you didn’t know you could experience).

The EP is sparse guitars, heartbreaking lyrics and beautiful melancholy throughout, the sort of music that I’m an absolute sucker for, there’s no bells and whistles here, just raw emotion that touches the back of your throat. It’s beguiling as a result. “I’ll Sing My Soul” sums that up in both name and song, simply echoed vocals and softly strummed guitar yet it never once wains in its intensity.

The title track “Hollow Body” was my initial introduction to Many Rooms and is a real beauty of a track centered around finger-plucked guitar, emotive lyrics and Brianna’s haunting vocal, it will immediately draw comparisons with Daughter (well of her stripped-down acoustic singer beginnings) because of the deliberate space left in the music for the listener to feel, and boy do you feel, an intimate yet masterfully created tale of heart-on-the-sleeve emotion.
